    Biogenic Stabilization of Intertidal Sediments: The Importance of Extracellular Polymeric Substances Produced by Benthic Diatoms

    The sediment-stabilizing effect of benthic diatoms was investigated in a laboratory setting. Axenic cultures of the benthic diatoms Nitzschia cf. brevissima and Cylindrotheca closterium were inoculated in Petri d...

    Sorption of EPS to sediment particles and the effect on the rheology of sediment slurries

    Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) are considered to play animportant role in the stabilization of intertidal mudflats. In this study therole of EPS as a binding agent in intertidal sediments was investi...
