Redox properties of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from electroactive bacteria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 Abstract Although the capacity for electroactive bacteria to convert environmental metallic minerals and organic pollutants is well known, the role of the redox properties of microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in this process is poorly understood.

Cellulose Synthase in Atacama Cyanobacteria and Bioethanol Production from Their Exopolysaccharides
Microorganisms, 2023 Cyanobacteria produce exopolysaccharides (EPSs) as an adaptative mechanism against ultraviolet radiation and desiccation. Cellulose is present in the extracellular polymeric substance in some cyanobacteria genera and it has been proposed as a raw ...

Strategies to Obtain Designer Polymers Based on Cyanobacterial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Biopolymers derived from polysaccharides are a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to the synthetic counterparts available in the market. Due to their distinctive properties, the cyanobacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), mainly composed of heteropolysaccharides, emerge as a valid alternative to address several ...

Characterisation of Clostridium difficile biofilm formation, a role for Spo0A.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus that is the leading cause of nosocomial diarrhoea worldwide. We demonstrate that C. difficile aggregates and forms biofilms in vitro on abiotic surfaces.

Measuring the soil-microbial interface: extraction of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from soil biofilms [PDF]
, 2014 Many soil microbes exist in biofilms. These biofilms are typified by variable quantities of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS: predominantly polysaccharides, glycoconjugates, and proteins) and the embedded microbial cells.
