Microbial 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 adhes...
Denitrifying biofilm promises to be very useful for remediation of nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs) and nitrates in wastewater. Little is known about the role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in nitrobenzene (NB, a typical NAC) remediation, despite the indispensability of EPS for biofilm...
In this study, freshwater, estuarine and marine biofilm bacteria were evaluated for aggregation capabilities, and their cell-bound extracellular polymeric substances (CB-EPS), known to play an important role in biofilm formation, were characterized for functional groups, and sugar composition via ...

Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the key components for the aggregation of microorganisms in biofilms, flocs and sludge. They are composed of polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and other biological macromolecules. EPS provide a highly hydrated gel matrix in which micro...

EPS promote interactions of the biofilm with other cells and sorption of organics, metals and chemical pollutants, and they facilitate cell adhes...
1.Based on the effect of Fe ion on the formation of extracellular polymeric substances(EPS) in biofilm,the promotion mechanism of Fe ion for biofilm formation on suspended carrier was studied through contrast test.从铁离子影响生物膜中胞外聚合物形成的角度,通过对比试验研究了铁离子促进填料挂膜的机理...
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 physical identities of EPS limits the potential to rationally engineer biofilm processes, and impedes progress within the...
► We investigated the Cu(II) binding properties of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from biofilm samples. ► The EPS–Cu complex was probed using three-dimensional excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy. ► The Cu(II) is bound with EPS at different molecular weight...
