Résumé :
|
Major aspects of microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) include: stability, as in the case of biofouling when unwanted biofilms have to be removed, and the stability of biofilms in bioreactors; interaction with substrata in bioleaching, biocorrosion, and biodeterioration; sorption capacity for dissolved and particulate substances ("biosorption"), representing both a sink and source of sorbed material; and enhanced resistance or biofilm organisms to biocides.
