The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of alginate-like extracellular polymers extracted from aerobic granular sludge, as a novel and innovative biosorbent for the removal of the dye methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process using alginate-like exopolysaccharide (...
but also by other polymers such as proteins, humic substances, and lipids9. During ALE extraction, some intracellular polysaccharides and proteins can be released by cell lysis10; this combination of ALE and intracellular polymers is referred to as alginate-like polymers (ALP...
(Wong et al., 2000). Most of the enzymes are typically extracellular or periplasmic. Although many display endo-poly(M) lyase activity, at least one with exo-poly(M) lyase activity has been described (Doubet and Quatrano, 1984). A smaller number of characterized lyases display endo-poly(G...
Previously the collagen/alginate combination has been used to create a structurally switchable 3D extracellular matrix26. As a polymer base for cell culture, alginate has many favora- ble attributes, including biocompatibility, lack of immunoresponse, precise mechanical control, no mammalian receptors, ...
Marine organisms are good candidates for biomedical field due to their characteristic properties like biocompatibility and biodegradability which is almost uncountable and continuously increasing with the research in deeper waters. Sulfated polysaccharides found in different algae species in the marine environmen...
In the case of hydrogels, the presence of a 3D gel network affords high elasticity even at low shears, which results in the plateau-like G' curve independent of angular frequency [38]. The thermal-induced changes in η' and G' are shown in Fig. 1D. Both rheological parameters exhibit ...
The mannuronan C-5 epimerases catalyze epimerization of β-d-mannuronic acid to α-l-guluronic acid in alginate polymers. The seven extracellular Azotobacter vinelandii epimerases (AvAlgE1-7) are calcium-dependent, and calcium is essential for the structural integrity of their carbohydrate binding...

To enhance composite microfibre fabricated using microfluidic system with incorporated cells within it, incorporation of extracellular matrix (ECM)-like constituent is crucial so that suitable cell microenvironment can be provided. Therefore, production of composite alginate microfibers enriched with ...
alginate-like EPS could be involved in the basic structures of sludge, and closely associated wth the biodegradability of sludge. View article Engineering biosynthetic cell encapsulation systems J.J.Roberts,P.J.Martens, inBiosynthetic Polymers for Medical Applications, 2016...
