Effect of Culture pH on Properties of Exopolymeric Substances from <i>Synechococcus</i> PCC7942: Implications for Carbonate Precipitation

The role of culture conditions on the production of exopolymeric substances (EPS) by <i>Synechococcus</i> strain PCC7942 was investigated. Carbonate mineral precipitation in these EPS was assessed in forced precipitation experiments. Cultures were grown in HEPES-buffered medium and non-b...
