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.”
Life in Dry Soils: Effects of Drought on Soil Microbial Communities and Processes (2018, background): “One way to do this is to produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS); these are primarily polysaccharides but also contain DNA, proteins, and other materials released from live or dying cells (More et al. 2014).”
Microbial extracellular polysaccharide production and aggregate stability controlled by Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) root biomass and soil water potential (2019, background): “…polymeric substances include a variety of biological polymers, such as DNA and proteins, but it has been shown that the principal components are polysaccharides (Cheshire, 1977; Hall-Stoodley et al., 2004; More et al., 2014; Oades, 1984); hence we will focus on extracellular polysaccharides (EPS).”
