A review concerning the definition, extraction, characterization, production and functions of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of microbial aggregates in biological wastewater …

Nanoscale materials can have cytotoxic effects. Here we present the first combined
empirical and theoretical investigation of the influence of electrostatic attraction on …

The three-dimensional excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy was
employed to investigate the interaction of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from …

Gymnogongrus torulosus adsorption efficiency for cadmium (II), copper (II), lead (II) and zinc
(II) were studied in batch mode in different acidic conditions. The adsorbent removal …

A cryoconite granule is a biologically active aggregation of microorganisms, mineral
particles and organic matter found on glacier surfaces, often within shallow pools or …

Equilibrium adsorption experiments, isothermal titration calorimetry and potentiometric
titration techniques were employed to investigate the adsorption of Cu (II) by extracellular …

Two physical methods (centrifugation and ultrasonication) and 3 chemical methods
(extraction with EDTA, extraction with formaldehyde, and extraction with formaldehyde plus …

We investigated cadmium (II) resistance and its association with exopolysaccharide (EPS)
production in cyanobacteria. Increased EPS production was associated with Cd (II) …

Cyanobacteria have been recognized as key players in the precipitation of calcium
carbonate in marine and freshwater systems. These bacteria increase pH,(as a result of …

The effects of the extraction procedure of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on their
proton/metal binding properties were studied. Nine extraction procedures (one control, four …
