Characteristics and roles of Microcystis extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in cyanobacterial blooms: a short review (2018, methodology): “Moreover, EPS as the storage of nutrients can be absorbed directly by cyanobacterial cells, and the labile materials in EPS would also be used by heterotrophic bacteria as carbon and energy sources (Sheng et al. 2010).”
Bacterial Exopolysaccharide mediated heavy metal removal: A Review on biosynthesis, mechanism and remediation strategies (2016, background): “They are produced out of self defense against environmental stress which not only protect cells against dewatering or toxic substances but serves as a carbon and energy source as well [88].”
Biofouling of Water Treatment Membranes: A Review of the Underlying Causes, Monitoring Techniques and Control Measures (2012, background): “EPS bind the microbes together in a three-dimensional matrix and so affect the physico-chemical characteristics of the microbial aggregates such as mass transfer, surface characteristics, adsorption ability and stability [30].”
Extracellular polymeric substances of bacteria and their potential environmental applications. (2014, methodology): “There are a number of carbon and nitrogen sources reported to be favoured over others by different EPS producing microorganisms (Salehizadeh and Shojaosadati, 2001; Sheng et al., 2010; Wingender et al., 1999).”
