Abstract:
Extracellular polymeric substances are the construction materials for microbial aggregates such as biofilms, flocs (“planktonic biofilms”) and sludge. Their major components are not only polysaccharides but also proteins and in some cases lipids, with minor contents of nucleic acids and other biopolymers. In the EPS, biofilm organisms can establish stable arrangements and function multicellularly as synergistic microconsortia. The matrix facilitates the retention of exoenzymes, cellular debris and genetic material; it can be considered as a microbial recycling yard. Gradients can develop due t

Abstract:
Several studies of biofilms must accept that biofilms may develop in an enormous number of environments. This biofilm forms colonization on the solid surfaces by extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) secreted by the microbial cells. The EPSs secreted by microbial cell stimulate corrosion in the engineered materials due to the presence of polyanionic neutral macromolecules. Many techniques have been described measuring and inhibiting microbiologically influenced corrosion; however, none has been accepted as an industry standard. This is because the risks posed to the marine biosphere due to the

Abstract:
Haloarchaea, the extremely halophilic branch of the Archaea domain, encompass a steadily increasing number of genera and associated species which accumulate polyhydroxyalkanoate biopolyesters in their cytoplasm. Such ancient organisms, which thrive in highly challenging, often hostile habitats characterized by salinities between 100 and 300 g/L NaCl, have the potential to outperform established polyhydroxyalkanoate production strains. As detailed in the review, this optimization presents due to multifarious reasons, including: cultivation setups at extreme salinities can be performed at minimi

Abstract:
Galactosaminogalactan and Pel are cationic heteropolysaccharides produced by the opportunistic pathogens Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. These exopolysaccharides both contain 1,4-linked N-acetyl-d-galactosamine and play an important role in biofilm formation by these organisms. Proteins containing glycoside hydrolase domains have recently been identified within the biosynthetic pathway of each exopolysaccharide. Recombinant hydrolase domains from these proteins (Sph3h from A. fumigatus and PelAh from P. aeruginosa) were found to degrade their respective polysacc

Abstract:
Many freshwater streams are predominantly heterotrophic, the energy source for all trophic levels of the biota being derived from allochthonous plant litter that is degraded by saprotrophic micro-organisms. Leaves falling into streams have most of their soluble constituents leached out within twenty-four hours of submersion. Few of the resident terrestrial saprotrophs survive in the aquatic environment and the leaves are rapidly colonised by freshwater fungi, particularly aquatic hyphomycetes (Chamier & Dixon 1982a; Chamier et al. 1984).

In a major evolutionary transition to a new level of organization, internal conflicts must be controlled before the transition can truly be successful. One such transition is that from single cells to multicellularity. Conflicts among cells in multicellular organisms can be greatly reduced if they consist of genetically identical clones. However, mutations to cheaters that experience one round of within-individual selection could still be a problem, particularly for certain life cycles.

The enzyme xylanase breaks down the linear polysaccharide β-1,4-xylan into xylose, therefore breaking down hemicellulose, one of the primary components of plant cell walls. It is essential for the breakdown of plant materials into usable nutrients by microorganisms that thrive on plant sources. Fungi, bacteria, yeast, marine algae, protozoans, snails, crustaceans, insects, seeds, and other organisms generate xylanases. However, the amount of xylanase produced by fungal cultures is generally significantly larger than that produced by yeasts or bacteria. There is a growing demand for low-cost mi

The symbiosis between corals and the dinoflagellates—zooxanthellae—is the key to a tight recycling of nutrients on reefs that generally thrive best in nutrient poor parts of the oceans.

Viruses, bacteria, and archaea are key to the recycling of carbon and organic compounds, making the ‘microbial loop’, one key but invisible aspect to how the reef functions.

Bacterial cells demonstrate two major modes of growth, which are planktonic cells and sessile aggregates, called biofilms. Biofilms are aggregations of micro-organisms where cells fused to one another form a matrix secreted into the extracellular environment which form in multiple biological and ecological environments. The formation of a biofilm entails dynamic processes which require a concurrent series of mechanisms. Over 75% of all infections are affected by microbial biofilms.

Abstract Traditional microbiological methods based on culturing procedures such as the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique have been used for many years to monitor microbial numbers in oilfield samples. However, such methods are far from ideal as it is estimated that only 0.01–10% of all micro-organisms present in environmental samples are culturable by these methods. In addition, without further extensive procedures being carried out, such methods cannot identify the variety of micro-organisms in the sample.
