Microbial 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 کاملCharacterising and understanding the impact of microbial biofilms and the extracellular polymeric substance ( EPS ) matrix in drinking water distribution systems †
Drinking water quality deteriorates during transportation through drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). Microbial activity and ecology, particularly within biofilms that occur on the inner-pipe surface of DWDS, are emerging as important drivers in the degradation process. Yet, we have little real-world applicable understanding of the DWDS biofilms. This paper provides a critical discussio...
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...
متن کاملExtraction and Analysis of Extracellular Polymeric Substances: Comparison of Methods and Extracellular Polymeric Substance Levels in Salmonella pullorum SA 1685
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production and composition for Salmonella pullorum SA 1685 exposed to artificial groundwater (AGW) has been examined utilizing three EPS extraction methods: lyophilization, ethanol, and sonication. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the robustness of three EPS extraction methods and the sensitivity of each to subtle changes in solution ionic streng...
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...
