• Everglades Periphyton: A Biogeochemical Perspective (2011, background): “Since polymers differ in hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and polymerization, EPS have several structural roles (Bhaskar and Bhosle, 2005; Decho, 1990).”
• Calcium carbonate precipitation by cyanobacterial polysaccharides (2010, background): “Extracellular polysaccharides produced by microorganisms can be tightly bound (cell attached or capsular) or loosely adhered (slime type, free ore released) to cells, or exist as free dissolved matter (Nielsen & Jahn 1999; Bhaskar & Bhosle 2005).”
• Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems (2017, background): “The abundances of TEP in the ocean water column are on average in the order of 10 6 per L of seawater, and can reach as high as 10 8 per L (Passow, 2002; Bhaskar and Bhosle, 2005), particularly during periods of phytoplankton blooms.”
• Plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): a review (2015, unknown): “EPS have vital roles in a variety of processes such as formation of biofilm (Bhaskar and Bhosle 2005), protection of bacterial cell from desication (Pal et al. 1999), for maintaining primary cellular functions and antibacterial activity against predators, gelling ability, pollutant degradation…”
• Mechanisms of Microbial Carbon Sequestration in the Ocean - Future Research Directions (2014, background): “eutrophic waters, as long as the C / N ratio reaches a threshold value, microbial cells will start to store carbon and produce more recalcitrant compounds or polymers (Bhaskar and Bhosle, 2005; Kadouri et al., 2005; Jiao et al, 2010b).”
• Transparent exopolymer particles: Potential agents for organic fouling and biofilm formation in desalination and water treatment plants (2009, background): “Although numerous studies have focused on the polysaccharide-containing EPS matrix in biofilms adhering to surfaces [11,12,32, 33 ,], the potential involvement in aquatic biofouling of TEP in source waters has yet to be investigated [13,14].”
• Protease and amylase enzymes for biofilm removal and degradation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria (2010, background): “In most cases proteins seem to be the main constituents of the biofilms EPS and are found mostly at the outer layer of the biofilms (Liu et al., 2004; Bhaskar and Bhosle, 2005).”
• Processes of carbonate precipitation in modern microbial mats (2009, background): “The EPS matrix represents an important component of marine biogeochemical processes (Decho, 1990; Bhaskar and Bhosle, 2005).”
