• Development of the polysaccharidic matrix in biocrusts induced by a cyanobacterium inoculated in sand microcosms (2017, background): “One reason likely lies in that these mucilaginous exudates increase the inoculant resistance to adverse conditions (Pereira et al. 2009) and the extracellular polymeric matrix (EPM) in which they spatially organize in biocrusts constitutes an optimal microenvironment in terms of nutrient…”
• Cyanobacteria as Biocatalysts for Carbonate Mineralization (2012, background): “The composition of cyano-EPS exhibits some unusual features compared to EPS from other bacteria [66]: (i) the presence of sulfate groups and uronic acids, which both contribute to the anionic nature of the cyano-EPS, confers a negative charge and a “sticky” behavior.”
• Ecoenzymatic Stoichiometry and Ecological Theory (2012, background): “…plant cell walls (Ericksson et al. 1990) In aquatic systems, the capsules and glycocalyces of microorganisms and biofilms are composed of complex polysaccharides whose mass can far exceed that of the microorganisms themselves (Decho 1990, Leppard 1995, Pereira et al. 2009, Bellinger et al. 2010).”
• Sustainability and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae): facts and challenges (2011, background): “In the majority of cases, glucose is in the highest concentration (De Philippis et al. 2003; Pereira et al. 2009).”
• Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) as Microalgal Bioproducts: A Review of Factors Affecting EPS Synthesis and Application in Flocculation Processes (2021, background): “The authors have found that the results are comparable with those obtained for Cyanobacteria, which are known to have better metal complexing abilities than Chlorophyta.”
• Complex role of the polymeric matrix in biological soil crusts (2018, background): “(Decho and Lopez 1993; De Philippis and Vincenzini 1998; Li et al. 2001; Pereira et al. 2009) Protection from UV-radiation The UV-screening pigments scytonemin and mycosporine aminoacid-like substances (MAAs) are contained in the sheath of several cyanobacterial species.”
