The numerous forms of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by soil algae, as well as their applications, are covered in different sections in this chapter. Algal biomass is mostly used to isolate EPS such as ulvans, carrageenan, alginates, proteins, and lipids. The commercial highlights of EPS are examined in detail in a separate section. In the last section of the chapter, frequent applications of EPS in bioremediation for wastewater treatment, i.e., removal of emerging toxins, at the laboratory scale, pilot scale, and industrial level are highlighted.

摘要

The numerous forms of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by soil algae, as well as their applications, are covered in different sections in this chapter. Algal biomass is mostly used to isolate EPS such as ulvans, carrageenan, alginates, proteins, and lipids. The commercial highlights of EPS are examined in detail in a separate section. In the last section of the chapter, frequent applications of EPS in bioremediation for wastewater treatment, i.e., removal of emerging toxins, at the laboratory scale, pilot scale, and industrial level are highlighted.
