TL;DR

Stark, Stadler and McCoy (1938) found that in support of Zobell's results, measurable amounts of organic matter accumulated over a period of hours on the surface of chemically clean glass slides suspended in sterile lake water, indicating that the accumulation of organic Matter is independent of and precedes bacterial growth.
