Biochemical characterization of extracellular polymeric substances from endodontic biofilms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Apical periodontitis is frequently associated with the presence of bacteria biofilm, which has an indisputable impact on the prognosis of endodontic therapy due to the high resistance to adverse environmental conditions, chemicals, and antibiotic therapy

Biodegradability of biofilm extracellular polymeric substances
Chemosphere, 2003 This study discovered that biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are biodegradable by their own producers and by other microorganisms when they are starved. The study was performed in a comparative fashion to examine the biodegradability of biofilm EPS by the microorganisms from the original biofilm (its own producers) and from activated ...

Extracellular polymeric substances of biofilms: Suffering from an identity crisis [PDF]
Water Research, 2019 Microbial biofilms can be both cause and cure to a range of emerging societal problems including antimicrobial tolerance, water sanitation, water scarcity and pollution. The identities of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) responsible for the establishment and function of biofilms are poorly understood. The lack of information on the chemical and

The pervasive role of biological cohesion in bedform development [PDF]
, 2015 Sediment fluxes in aquatic environments are crucially dependent on bedform dynamics. However, sediment-flux predictions rely almost completely on clean-sand studies, despite most environments being composed of mixtures of non-cohesive sands, physically ...
