TL;DR: Limitations and constraints ofacterial EPS development are stressed and correlation of bacterial EPS properties with polymer applications is emphasized, along with current downstream strategies.

TL;DR: This study proposes a set of simplified analytical methods for the quantification of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and polycyclic musks in liquid and sludge samples and shows comparable limits of detection and quantification as literature values for most PPCPs.

TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that MMCs targeting the enrichment of Azoarcus as the primary biomass fraction with Thauera as a minor fraction lead to optimal specific PHA production and polymers with high HV content, which is likely to improve their mechanical properties.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time, that OOD is a promising substrate for PHA production since it gives high polymer yields and allows for the synthesis of different polymers (scl- or mcl-PHA) by selection of the adequate strains.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature on the dynamic and steady-shear rheology of aqueous solutions of an extracellular polysaccharide produced by microbial fermentation using Pseudomonas oleovorans NRRL B-14682 and glycerol byproduct, was studied.
