An assay for the adhesion of Amphora coffeaeformis (Bacillariophyceae) to glass is described. Ca and Sr promoted adhesion, but Ba and Mn were ineffective. Adhesion was inhibited by cycloheximide, carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenyl hydrazone, and alpha-isopropyl-alpha-[(N-methyl-N-homoveratryl)-gamma-amino- propyl]-3,4,5-trimethyoxy phenyl acetonitrile (D-600), but not by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethyl urea or darkness. The assay has potential use in comparing chemical antifoulants.
