Extracellular polymers (EPS) are high molecular weight natural polymers secreted by microorganisms into their environment. EPSs establish the functional and structural integrity of biofilms and are considered fundamental components that determine the physicochemical properties of biofilms. EPS is mainly composed of polysaccharides (exopolysaccharides) and proteins, but also includes other macromolecules such as DNA, lipids and humic substances. EPS, the building material of bacterial colonies, either remain attached to the outer surface of cells or are secreted into their growth medium. These compounds are important in biofilm formation and cell attachment to surfaces. EPS accounts for 50% to 90% of the total organic matter in biofilms. Now, CD BioSciences provides you with a variety of biofilm extracellular polymeric substance testing service to meet your scientific research needs.

Our Services

Biofilm extracellular polymeric substance ( EPS ) is a highly hydrated polymeric substanceic macromolecule surrounding bacteria in biofilms, its composition and physicochemical properties determine the adhesion, configuration and biological properties of biofilms; EPS is a variety of organic compounds composition, including polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, phospholipids, alginic acid, humic substances, etc., mainly polysaccharides and proteins. In biofilm research, the amount of extracellular polysaccharides and proteins in biofilms is often used to represent EPS in biofilms. CD BioSciences offer professional biofilm extracellular polymeric substance testing services. We provide a variety of biofilm extracellular polymeric substance testing service below, you can choose the appropriate method according to your needs.
