Extracellular Polymeric Substance-Intercalated MXene Membranes Toward Removal of Emerging Contaminants

Membranes
Resource recovery from excess sludge, specifically the extraction of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), has become a frontier issue; yet achieving high-value utilization of this recovered resource remains a key bottleneck.

Streamlining extracellular polymeric substance removal: Fuzzy multi-objective optimization of ultrasonic-Fenton treatment

Resources, Environment and Sustainability
Managing high water content sludge in wastewater treatment is crucial for sustainability. This involves a complex challenge of maximizing the removal of loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (LB-EPS) while minimizing ultrasonic-Fenton process ...

The Effectiveness of Propolis Extract against Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) Biofilm Enterococcus Faecalis Bacteria [PDF]

, 2021
The resistance of Enterococcus faecalis bacteria in root canals is because it can form a biofilm. Biofilms are communities of microorganisms in a complex and dynamic structure attached to a surface, embedded in Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS ...

Bacterial biofilms with emphasis on coagulase-negative staphylococci

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
In addition to their capacity to attach to surfaces, various groups of microorganisms also produce an extracellular polymeric substance known as "slime". This slime forms a thin layer around cells known as biofilm.

Biosorption of Pb(II) and Zn(II) by Extracellular Polymeric Substance (Eps) of Rhizobium Radiobacter : Equilibrium, Kinetics and Reuse Studies [PDF]

, 2013
The extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) produced from Rhizobium radiobacter F2, designated as EPSF2 , was investigated as a biosorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solution.

Biofilms: Extracellular Bastions of Bacteria

, 2014
Biofilms are attached forms of bacteria and other microorganisms enclosed in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and comprise a microbial lifestyle that is quite different from that of free-living planktonic cells.

Ultrasound-Launched Targeted Nanoparticle Enhances Antibacterial Sonodynamic Therapy for Effective Eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm

BIO Integration
Infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm significantly endanger human health worldwide. Biofilms are closely associated with antibiotic resistance because biofilms significantly undermine the efficacy of antibiotics.
