Microbial extracellular polymeric substances in the environment, technology and medicine
Nature Reviews MicrobiologyMicrobial biofilms exhibit a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), including polysaccharides, proteins, extracellular DNA and lipids. EPS promote interactions of the biofilm with other cells and sorption of organics, metals and chemical pollutants, and they facilitate cell adhesion at interfaces and ensure matrix cohesion ...

Adsorptive fouling of extracellular polymeric substances with polymeric ultrafiltration membranes
Journal of Membrane Science, 2008Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are currently considered as the major cause of membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR). Few works have dealt with the adsorptive interaction between EPS and different membrane types. The purpose of this study was to investigate the adsorptive fouling potential of the EPS extracted from an aerobic ...

Spatial Distribution of Extracellular Polymeric Substances in Biofilms
Journal of Environmental Engineering, 2001This study investigated the spatial distribution of biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with depth in biofilms. Heterotrophic biofilms were grown in a rotating drum biofilm reactor fed with synthetic wastewater with a COD of 150 mg/L. Biofilm was found to be heterogeneously structured, represented not only by the spatial distribution of ...

Intertidal sediments are important areas that separate the land from the sea and form natural coastal defenses. They are known as highly productive ecosystems, fueling the coastal food web. It is also conceived that microphytobenthos contribute to the stability of intertidal sediments by increasing the erosion threshold and that they are major players ...
