Kaumera Methods Manual
A comprehensive guide to lab extraction and characterization methods for extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)
Kaumera are extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) extracted from excess aerobic granular sludge from Nereda® wastewater treatment plants. Kaumera exhibits significant market potential across diverse applications, fostering rapid research and business development. Furthermore,
