Biodegradability of biofilm extracellular polymeric substances.
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 sludge (other microorganisms). Four distinctiv...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) and Its Role in Microbial Biofilm Formation
Microbial biofilm formed on abiotic surfaces is an important area of research because of the wide range of possible affects and the disinfectant resistance of the cells. The colonization of solid surfaces by microorganisms is a very complicated process that depends mostly on extracellular molecule production. The biosynthesis of EPS reflected not only the attachment and aggregation process but ...
متن کاملMicrobial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems
Microbial cells (i.e., bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes) in oceans secrete a diverse array of large molecules, collectively called extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) or simply exopolymers. These secretions facilitate attachment to surfaces that lead to the formation of structured 'biofilm' communities. In open-water environments, they also lead to formation of organic colloids, and lar...
متن کاملExtracellular Polymeric Substances-wonder Macromolecules in Microbial Mats
Microorganisms play critical roles in the various aquatic systems forming microbial mats. The microbial mats are held together and bound to their substrates by slimy extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) having various applications which they secrete. They use all types of metabolism and feeding strategy that have evolved on Earth, and have shown immense use in various industrial application...
متن کاملCharacterization of extracellular polymeric substances from acidophilic microbial biofilms.
We examined the chemical composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) extracted from two natural microbial pellicle biofilms growing on acid mine drainage (AMD) solutions. The EPS obtained from a mid-developmental-stage biofilm (DS1) and a mature biofilm (DS2) were qualitatively and quantitatively compared. More than twice as much EPS was derived from DS2 as from DS1 (approximately 3...
