- W2007401394 abstract "Many organisms in fresh waters secrete carbohydrate-rich substances which facilitate growth and survival. Some of these substances are acid polysaccharides of high molecular mass; they are multifunctional and their molecular architecture can be engineered by many organisms (e.g. algae, bacteria, plants) to combat specific environmental stresses (e.g. high toxicant levels, low nutrient levels). These polyanionic extracellular polymers represent families of macromolecules which aggregate to form colloidal fibrils; these can reside at the organism-water interface, participate in biofilm formation or enter the bulk water phase as colloids. Their manifold activities include the natural decontamination of water bodies; in the form of flocs, fibril aggregates are implicated in the functioning of engineered water treatment systems. The decontamination activity begins with the binding of toxicants by fibrils, followed by aggregation processes which produce suspended particles (1 μm). Dense suspended particles can aggregate further to form settling particles, thus removing the “bound” toxicants to the sediments. While various fibril activities have been described by many laboratories encompassing many scientific disciplines, fibril impacts on surface water quality are only vaguely understood. The vagueness is a result of technical difficulties in classifying fibrils and in quantifying both abundance and native activities. The problem of quantifying the chemical features of polyanionic extracellular polymers can now be overcome by technology transfer. A strategy to combine separation technology, biochemical concepts and the tools of analytical chemistry is outlined in this paper. A specific feature essential to the use of the strategy is the use of transmission electron microscopy to monitor and “tune” the isolation and purification methods for quantitative analyses of extracellular polymers. An improved quantitative understanding of fibril chemistry and activities should lead not only to a better understanding of colloid impacts, but also to an improved capacity to “engineer” flocs for the treatment of polluted waters." @default.
