- Biological Degradation of Polymers in the Environment (2019, background): “Compositionally, these films have been found to be a single microbial species or multiple microbial species with attachment to a range of biotic and abiotic surfaces [34, 35].”
- Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems (2017, background): “The secretion of EPS (by cells) is a key emergent property of the biofilm (Flemming and Wingender, 2010; Flemming et al., 2016); the property that directly influences adaptations that cells utilize to enhance their efficiency and survival.”
- Biological control of plant diseases (2017, background): “Biofilms typically contain multiple bacterial, or mixed bacterial and fungal species (Flemming et al. 2016; Frey-Klett et al. 2011).”
- Reviews and syntheses: Biological weathering and its consequences at different spatial levels – from nanoscale to global scale (2020, background): “Instead they aggregate at interfaces – on surfaces of roots, organic matter, rocks and minerals, forming biofilms or microbial mats (Flemming and Wingender, 2010; Flemming et al., 2016).”
- Biofilms: The Microbial “Protective Clothing” in Extreme Environments (2019, background): “In this dynamic process, specific enzymes are involved in degrading and reconfiguring biofilm, resulting not only in partial matrix degradation, but also the active dispersal of biofilm and subsequent surface recolonization [7].”
- Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances: Ecological Function and Impact on Soil Aggregation (2018, background): “The information on EPS composition, biosynthesis, and factors affecting EPS production have been comprehensively described before (Wingender et al., 1999b; Flemming and Wingender, 2010; Sheng et al., 2010; More et al., 2014; Flemming et al., 2016; Nouha et al., 2017) and will be not described here.”
- Electrochemical roles of extracellular polymeric substances in biofilms (2017, background): “EPS erve as carbon and energy sources for biofilm and can adorb and degrade organic compounds from the surroundng environment [2] .”
