Composition and Corrosivity of Extracellular Polymeric Substances from the Hydrocarbon-Degrading Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium <i>Desulfoglaeba alkanexedens</i> ALDC
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) often exist as cell aggregates and in biofilms surrounded by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). The chemical composition of EPSs may facilitate hydrophobic substrate biodegradation and promote microbial influenced corrosion (MIC). Although EPSs fro...
