  We discuss the recent observation of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays and in
gluon jets which hints toward a gluonic coupling of this meson similar to eta'.
Further predictions on B-decays into scalar particles are presented. Charmless
B decays also show a broad K Kbar (and possibly pi pi) S-wave enhancement which
we relate to the 0^{++} glueball. These gluonic mesons represent a sizable
fraction of the theoretically derived decay rate for b -> sg.
