Extracellular polymeric substances of bacteria and their potential environmental applications.
Biopolymers are considered a potential alternative to conventional chemical polymers because of their ease of biodegradability, high efficiency, non-toxicity and non-secondary pollution. Recently, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS, biopolymers produced by the microorganisms) have been recognised by many researchers as a potential flocculent for their applications in various water, wastewa...
متن کاملRedox properties of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from electroactive bacteria
Although the capacity for electroactive bacteria to convert environmental metallic minerals and organic pollutants is well known, the role of the redox properties of microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in this process is poorly understood. In this work, the redox properties of EPS from two widely present electroactive bacterial strains (Shewanella oneidensis and Pseudomonas putid...
متن کاملOptimization of Carbon and Nitrogen Sources for Extracellular Polymeric Substances Production by Chryseobacterium indologenes MUT.2
Background: Bacterial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) are environmental friendly and versatile polymeric materials that are used in a wide range of industries such as: food, textile, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. To make the production process of the EPS cost-effective, improvements in the production yield is required which could be implemented through application of processes such a...
متن کاملExtracellular Polymeric Substances from Cyanobacteria: Characteristics, Isolation and Biotechnological Applications-A Review
Cyanobacterial Extracellular Polymeric Substances(EPS) play an important physiological role in mat formation and stress tolerance during adverse conditions. They are highly heterogeneous polymers containing a number of distinct polysaccharides and non carbohydrate constituents including proteins, phospholipids and nucleic acids. EPSs are therefore regarded as abundant source of structurally div...
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...
