Marine carbohydrate-active enzymes illuminate microbial ecology, evolution, and carbonate precipitation
… mats build, modify, and degrade the matrix of exopolymeric substances (EPS) that structure these ancient ecosystems and control mineral formation via the alkalinity engine and organic surfaces involved in mineral nucleation and growth. Marine microbialites—mineralized microbial mats—preserve …

Role of Exopolymeric Substances in Biofilm Formation on Dairy Separation Membranes
… biofilm matrix is composed mainly of microbial exopolymeric substances (EPS), and therefore EPS is thought to help bacteria to adhere and form biofilms by acting as a cementing agent. The first research project under this study was conducted with the aim of elucidating the role of the EPS …

Elucidating Factors that Impact the Removal of Organic Microconstituents by Ammonia Oxidizing and Heterotrophic Bacteria
… was positively influenced by the presence of exopolymeric substances (EPS) associated with the cultures. The protein content of EPS affected EE2 and TMP sorption more appreciably than the polysaccharide content of EPS. Further experiments were performed to investigate microconstituent …

The integration of an avirulent legionella pneumophilla into aquatic biofilms
… obtained, which clearly showed the presence of exopolymeric substances (EPS). Hoffman modulation contrast microscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed the diverse nature of the biofilms being studied. The results of these investigations suggest that a more complete understanding of the …

The microbial biochemistry of slow sand filters.
… rainfall due to the presence of aquatic humic substances which are large recalcitrant molecules. Therefore, the colour of the water containing these non-biodegradable humic substances is scarcely affected by slow sand filtration, making the colour of the filtered water to the customer …
