Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has been the focus of many investigations, and the main
parameters responsible for AGS formation are hydrodynamic shear force, short periods and …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by microorganisms represent biological
macromolecules with unfathomable potentials and they are required to be explored further …

Anaerobic and aerobic granular sludge processes are widely applied in wastewater
treatment. In these systems, microorganisms grow in dense aggregates due to the …

This study investigated the effects of chemical conditioning with three representative
inorganic coagulants (FeCl 3, polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and high performance PACl …

Many soil microbes exist in biofilms. These biofilms are typified by variable quantities of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS: predominantly polysaccharides, glycoconjugates …

Extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and the water within it account for about 80% of the
total sludge mass, significantly correlated with sludge charge properties, particle size, and …

The present study investigates the effect of ultrasound, thermal and alkali treatments on the
characteristics of the extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) in activated sludge. EPSs …

Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) analysis was undertaken on three biofilms grown
under different feeding conditions and offering diverging microbial activities and structural …

Two lab-scale anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), one up-flow attached-growth
(UA) and another continuously stirred (CSTR), were operated under mesophilic conditions …

A protocol was developed to extract, fractionate, and quantitatively analyze periphyton
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which obtains both information on the molecular …
