Optimising extraction of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from benthic diatoms: comparison of the efficiency of six EPS extraction methods (2009, background): “Most authors agree that these extracts are not differentiated into clearly defined pools of carbohydrates, although there is a consensus that EPS constitute a continuum of substances more or less tightly associated to the frustules of the benthic diatoms (Wustman et al. 1997; Nielsen and Jahn 1999; ”
EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX ASSEMBLY IN DIATOMS (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE). V. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON POLYSACCHARIDE SYNTHESIS IN THE MODEL DIATOM, PHAEODACTYLUM TRICORNUTUM 1 (2006, background): “Small amounts of O-methylated sugars have also been reported in S. amphioxys (McConville et al. 1999), Pinnularia viridis (Chiovitti et al. 2003b), Craspedostauros australis Cox (Chiovitti et al. 2003a), and Navicula subinflata (Bhosle et al. 1995).”
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) release by phytoplankton in the contemporary and future ocean (2014, background): “Much of the recent detailed work on the composition of EPS produced by diatoms has been conducted with laboratory-grown cultures of benthic epipelic diatoms (Underwood et al., 2004; Bellinger et al., 2005; Abdullahi et al., 2006).”
Dynamics of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production and loss in an estuarine, diatom‐dominated, microalgal biofilm over a tidal emersio—immersion period (2006, methodology): “Sediment uronic acid analysis—Aliquots of supernatant retained from the colloidal and HW- and HB-extracted carbohydrate analyses were used to determine uronic acid content by use of the carbazole method (Bellinger et al. 2005).”
Significance of diatom-derived polymers in carbon flow dynamics within estuarine biofilms determined through isotopic enrichment (2009, methodology): “Compositional variability in LMW and HMW colloidal carbohydrates have been described for biofilms from the Colne Estuary, UK (Bellinger et al. 2005), and correlations between rates of bacterial enzymatic activity and degradation of complex HMW polymers were measured in situ by Hanlon et al. (2006).”
