Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances: Ecological Function and Impact on Soil Aggregation

Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances: Ecological Function and Impact on Soil Aggregation

A wide range of microorganisms produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), highly hydrated polymers that are mainly composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. EPS are fundamental for microbial life and provide an ideal environment for chemical reactions, nutrient entrapment, and protectio...
