Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Microbial cells (i.e., bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes) in oceans secrete a diverse array of large molecules, collectively called extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) or simply exopolymers.

Electrochemical roles of extracellular polymeric substances in biofilms
Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, 2017 Summary Most microbial cells in nature are surrounded by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which are fundamental components and determine the physiochemical properties of a biofilm. This review highlights the EPS properties of conductivity and redox ability from an electrochemical perspective, emphasizing recent findings that EPS play ...

Distribution of extracellular polymeric substances in aerobic granules [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007 Extracellular matrix provides an architectural structure and mechanical stability for aerobic granules. Distributions of cells and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), including proteins, alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranose polysaccharides, in acetate-fed granules and phenol-fed granules were probed using a novel quadruple staining scheme.
