The occurrence of nanoplastics in oceans' surface waters is no more a hypothesis and it
could severely affect marine organisms from different trophic levels. Nanoscale particles …

The nature and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) strongly influences its
binding properties to heavy metals and thus their fate, mobility and toxicity in aquatic …

This article presents a study aimed at the fractionation and characterization of what is
thought to be one of the most complex organic mixtures produced by activated sludge …

A protocol was developed to extract, fractionate, and quantitatively analyze periphyton
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which obtains both information on the molecular …

Cyanobacteria, particularly thermophilic strains, represent an important potential source of
EPSs, harboring structural complexity that predicts diverse and specific bioactive potential …

Fingerprints of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from activated and anaerobic
granular sludges were obtained by size exclusion chromatography coupled to UV (210 and …

Exopolymeric substances (EPS) were extracted by EDTA from activated and anaerobic
granular sludge. Due to the presence of EDTA in EPS extract, interferences were pointed out …
