Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in sewage sludge management: A call for methodological standardization

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Management
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are crucial in sewage sludge management, influencing key processes such as sedimentation, dewatering, and drying. Despite their importance, the lack of standardized methods for EPS extraction and analysis has led to inconsistent research findings, hindering a thorough understanding of EPS's role in sludge ...

Extracellular Polymeric Substance Production and Aggregated Bacteria Colonization Influence the Competition of Microbes in Biofilms [PDF]

open access: yes
The production of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) is important for the survival of biofilms. However, EPS production is costly for bacteria and the bacterial strains that produce EPS (EPS+) grow in the same environment as non-producers (EPS ...

Evidence of glycoproteins and sulphated proteoglycan-like presence in extracellular polymeric substance from anaerobic granular sludge

open access: yes, 2015
The protein fraction of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) from two anaerobic granular sludge samples was characterized with sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and a far western blotting method.

A pH‐Switchable Cerium Single‐Atom Enzyme for Peri‐Implantitis Therapy via JAK‐STAT Signaling Axis‐Mediated Macrophage Reprogramming

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 61, 3 November 2026.
A pH‐switchable cerium single‐atom enzyme is developed for stage‐specific peri‐implantitis therapy. Acidic conditions trigger antibacterial peroxidase‐like activity, whereas neutral conditions activate an antioxidant superoxide dismutase ‐ and catalase ‐like enzymatic relay. This microenvironment‐adaptive catalytic strategy suppresses the IL‐6/JAK‐STAT

Constituent of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by a range of soil bacteria and fungi

open access: yesBMC Microbiology
Abstract Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by soil bacteria and fungi are crucial for microbial growth and provide many functions for the soil and its microbes. EPS composition may depend on microbial community composition and the soil physical and chemical environment, nevertheless, not much is known about the EPS ...

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the aggregation of a purple phototrophic bacteria mixed consortium

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 11, Page 2301-2309, November 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND An essential aspect of applying Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) technology for wastewater treatment is the biomass separation from the aqueous phase. Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been used to enhance the aggregation of different biological matrices. In this paper, the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the aggregation of a mixed culture of PPB was
