Biological Treatment Programs Focusing on Increased Exopolysaccharide Production

Increased Exopolysaccharide Production

We focus on bacterial species and strains with high EPS-producing potential, unlocking a wide range of benefits.  A robust and healthy EPS supports soil structure, nutrient retention, and overall plant resilience.

Increased exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in soil provides numerous benefits to plants and the soil ecosystem.  EPS acts as a glue, helping to aggregate soil particles, improve soil structure, and enhance water retention, all of which are crucial for plant growth and nutrient availability.  Additionally, EPS can protect plants from abiotic stresses like drought and salinity.
Here’s a more detailed look at the benefits:
Soil Structure and Aggregation:
  • EPS acts as a natural binding agent, holding soil particles together to form aggregates.
  • Aggregates improve soil aeration, drainage, and water infiltration.
  • Stable aggregates contribute to better soil structure, which is essential for root development and nutrient uptake.
Water Retention and Abiotic Stress Tolerance:
  • EPS can increase soil water retention, making the soil more resistant to drought stress.
  • EPS helps protect plants from salinity by restricting sodium uptake and improving soil aggregation.
  • EPS can also help regulate water fluctuations in the soil, providing a more stable environment for plant growth.
Nutrient Availability and Uptake:
  • EPS can trap and slow down the release of nutrients, making them more available to plants.
  • EPS can also enhance the uptake of nutrients by plants through mechanisms like phosphorus solubilization.
  • EPS can improve the efficiency of fertilizer use by reducing nutrient losses through leaching.
Plant Growth and Health:
  • Improved soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability all contribute to enhanced plant growth and development.
  • EPS can also stimulate plant growth by providing a more favorable environment for microbial activity.
  • EPS can protect plants from pathogens and diseases by enhancing plant immunity.
Other Benefits:
  • EPS can improve the ability of the soil to adsorb heavy metals, reducing their availability to plants.
  • EPS can also help to maintain soil pH and other important soil properties.
