However, recovery of NTM from soil is relatively difficult because NTM attach to soil particles (Falkinham 2002) and the surface soil contains non-mycobacteria at concentrations of approximately 108 cells/cm3 (Whitman et al. 1998), which may overgrow in NTM isolation.

Slower attachment and detachment rates were observed for the hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic bacteria, suggesting that hydrophilic bacteria could move further before being removed by attachment to soil, but once attached, would be resuspended at a slower rate.
However, only a part of the applied amount is bioactive, a certain part remains attached to the soil and another part is leached out and migrates into ground water or undergoes surface migration.
