Abstract
- The exopolysaccharide layer around bacteria influences their electrokinetic properties.
- We modeled bacterial surfaces as soft surfaces regarding their EPS layers.
- The softness of the EPS layer increase with the amount of released EPS.
- The EPS charge density is influenced by the nature of the aqueous medium ions.
