Glycine betaine modulates extracellular polymeric substances to enhance microbial salinity tolerance
High salinity inhibits microbial activity in the bioremediation of saline wastewater. To alleviate osmotic stress, glycine betaine (GB), an osmoprotectant, is added to enhance the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These EPS are pivotal in withstanding environmental stressors, ye...
