Why do some microorganisms characteristically form a growth of the pellicle type?
in pellicle formation small masses of cells gather at the top of the nutrient broth. these organisms (masses of cells) are aerobes. the oxgen concentration is greatest at the top which would explain growth of the pellicle type.
