A simple technique, based on the use of Microtitre plates, was used to select a non‐adhesive variant clone of a methylamine‐utilizing bacterium. The variant clone grew in continuous culture without visible wall growth and with only very slight floe formation, whereas the parental strain grew with very heavy wall growth and a high proportion of the suspended cells present as flocs.
