This paper reviews the formation, structure, and stability of bioaggregates with an emphasis on the composition and distribution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and their role in bioaggregation. Bioaggregation is ubiquitous in natural environment and is of great importance in biological wastewater treatment processes.

The influence of an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) on cohesive sediment stability
2002Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are secreted by a variety of benthic organisms including diatoms and bacteria. These substances are often considered the primary mechanism by which intertidal benthic organisms increase sediment stability. The stabilisation is caused by physico-chemical interactions between clay minerals and EPS and physical ...

[Biodegradability of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by aerobic granules].
Huan jing ke xue= Huanjing kexue, 2009Aerobic granules were cultivated with synthetic wastewater and were added in the course of aerobic starvation. Results showed that EPS produced by aerobic granules was composed of 40% biodegradable and 60% nonbiodegradable EPS. Among these, only biodegradable EPS could be utilized by their producers, while nonbiodegradable EPS contributed to maintain ...

In Situ Characterization of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) in Biofilm Systems
1999Historically, microbial polysaccharides were studied for three reasons. First, polysaccharides represent a structural feature of the microbial cell; therefore they were investigated for pure and basic research interests. Second, polysaccharides were recognized as antigen determinants of the microbial cell surface; the knowledge of their structure was ...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) are prevalent in aquatic environments. Discharge from wastewater treatment plants is an important point source of ARG release into the environment. It has been reported that biological treatment processes may enhance rather than remove ARG because of their presence in sludge.
