Extracellular biopolymer flocculants (EBFs) are flocculating substances, consisting of
polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids, which are secreted in the culture broth by many …

Eutrophication, the over‐enrichment with nutrients, for example, nitrogen and phosphorus, of
ponds, reservoirs and lakes, is an urgent water quality issue. The most notorious symptom of …

In industrial countries, we take safe drinking water for granted. Due to an increase in world
population, the microbiological safety of drinking water is becoming a worldwide concern …

Recently, microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) have offered very large field for medical
applications owing to their bioactive characteristics. This study aimed to obtain antitumor …

Microbial flocculant (MBF) TJ-F1 with high flocculating activity was investigated to be used
as a novel conditioner for the enhanced dewaterability of the waste sludge from wastewater …

In this study, a new bioflocculant (ZZ-3) is isolated and evaluated. This novel flocculant was
derived Klebsiella, which was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as well as biochemical …

This study evaluated the potential of an extracellular, novel biopolymeric flocculant
produced by a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a sputum sample for removal of …

Aims: To isolate and characterize the novel bioflocculant‐producing bacteria, to optimize the
bioflocculant production and to evaluate its potential applications. Methods and Results …

A high bioflocculant-producing bacterial strain was identified and named Bacillus subtilis
ZHX3. Single-factor experiments suggested that 10 g/L starch and 5 g/L yeast extract were …

A novel bioflocculant (MBF83) prepared using methanol wastewater as nutrient resource
was systematically investigated in the study. The optimal conditions for bioflocculant …
