I think my hint would be sessile vs mobile - just follow up your initial instincts.

... genomes. In several species, these proteins have been implicated in biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides, formation of biofilms, establishment of a sessile lifestyle, surface motility, and regulation of gene expression. However, biochemical activities of only a few GGDEF domain proteins have been ...

... seen in hay infusions and pond water samples. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is motile by means of a single polar flagellum. P. aeruginosa can live in a sessile biofilm form, or it can live in a planktonic form, as a free-swimming cell. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not particularly distinctive as a pseudomonad, ...

... expressed proteins were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting and database search in the completed P. putida KT2440 genome sequence. The sessile life style affected 129 out of 496 surface proteins, suggesting that a significant fraction of the bacterial genome is involved in biofilm physiology. ...
