Journal ArticleDOI
Role of cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides in phototrophic biofilms and in complex microbial mats
TL;DR: The aim of this survey is to outline the state-of-the-art of the importance of the cyanobacterial EPS excretion, both for the producing cells and for the microbial associations in which cyanobacteria are a key component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial secreted exopolysaccharides affect the hydrological behavior of induced biological soil crusts in desert sandy soils.
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the presence of microbial secreted exopolysaccharides (EPSs) on the hydraulic conductivity, water capture and moisture retaining capabilities of induced Biological Soil Crusts (IBSCs) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial inoculation (cyanobacterisation): Perspectives for the development of a standardized multifunctional technology for soil fertilization and desertification reversal
TL;DR: The use of cyanobacteria as soil conditioners has been studied intermittently for many decades Some of the documented direct effects of the cyanobacterial inoculation are related to soil stabilization and improvement, enrichment in nutrients and increase in moisture content.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the exopolysaccharides in enhancing hydraulic conductivity of biological soil crusts
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on BSC hydraulic conductivity, a parameter gauging the ease with which water can move through the pore spaces, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacteria inoculation improves soil stability and fertility on different textured soils: Gaining insights for applicability in soil restoration
TL;DR: In this paper, two cyanobacterial species, Phormidium ambiguum (non-fixing) and Scytonema javanicum (fixing), were inoculated on different textured soils (from silt loam to sandy), and analyzed cyanobacteria biocrust development and evolution of physicochemical soil properties under laboratory conditions.
