Seasonal dynamics of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in surface sediments of a diatom-dominated intertidal mudflat (Marennes-Oléron, France)
13 Numerous field-based investigations have highlighted that the production of Extracellular 14 Polymeric Substances (EPS) is physico-chemically and ecologically essential for intertidal 15 mudflats. EPS are largely secreted by marine benthic diatoms and their quantity and quality 16 are environmental-dependant. This paper focused on the dynamic pathways, concentration 17 rates and monosacchari...
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 کاملCharacterization and Molecular Identification of Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) Producing Bacteria from Activated Sludge
The aim of this study was identification and characterization of highly efficient Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) producing bacteria in activated sludge. Among 74 isolated bacteria, 20 EPS-producing bacteria were obtained from wastewater treatment plant of Bojnourd. EPS extraction was performed using absolute ethanol after glucose-enriched culture. Dry weight, concentration, and the rat...
متن کاملModulation of the Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) Production by Quorum Sensing (QS) in Bacteria
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their presence on the planet but the communication network they use to adapt, grow and survive is still under the exploration among the biologist world. The prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms grow as single species or in consortium under diverse ecosystems synthesize and release macromolecules known as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These 80% e...
متن کاملBiofilm-control strategies based on enzymic disruption of the extracellular polymeric substance matrix--a modelling study.
A kinetic model is proposed to assess the feasibility of strategies for the removal of biofilms by using substances that induce detachment by affecting the cohesiveness of the matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). The model uses a two-state description of the EPS (natural EPS and compromised EPS) to provide a unified representation of diverse mechanisms of action of detachment-pr...
