| Popis: | Cottons contaminated with honeydew cannot be spun under normal conditions, and several methods such as washing, blending, spraying with yeast and, of late, applying a hydrocarbon and a surfactant have been used to reduce stickiness. Only the latter two methods have shown some encouraging results with few disadvantages. Spraying sticky cottons with Beijerinckia mobilis, a free living nitrogen-fixing bacterium, offers several advantages over the other methods apart from significantly reducing stickiness. |
