Progress on Extracellular Polymeric Substances of Bioleaching Microbial

Due to extracellular polymeric substances of bioleaching microbial played an important role in the interface of bacteria and mineral,studies around the world were focused on extracellular polymeric substances in the fields of biometallurgy.Currently,the EPS of bioleaching microbial studies focused on EPS component analysis of different nutritional conditions,EPS biosynthesis and the biological role of the EPS on the process of sulfide minerals and so on.The latest progress of extracellular polymeric substances of bioleaching microbial was summarized,and the new tend in the future was also carried out.
