theoretical functions of soil EPS[1]
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are a group of substances exuded by microorganisms in order to form biofilms. The major components are extracellular polysacharides (also called EPS), protiens, DNA, enzymes, lipids, and other biopolymers.[2] EPS accounts for 90% of biofilm drymass and constitutes the matrix of the biofilm.[3] Biofilms are microhabitats that keep microbes attached to a substrate[4], provide protection from desiccation[5][6]
, and play a key role in nutrient cycling[7]. Biofilms are also known to alter the structure [8][9], hydrology [10][11][12][13], and composition [14][15][16]of soils.
