The Alterations of Biofilm Formation and EPS Characteristics of a Diatom by a Sponge-Associated Bacterium <i>Psychrobacter</i> sp.

<div>Variation amplitude for monosaccharides in EPS of diatom <i>Stauroneis</i> sp. treated by supernatant crude extract of <i>Psychrobacter</i> sp. SL-EPS and F-TB-EPS were prepared from the suspension phase of the treated diatom <i>Stauroneis</i> sp. culture, and BF-LB-EPS and BF-TB-EPS were prepared from the biofilm phase. Based on the HPLC profiles of samples and standard monosaccharides, the correction factors (<i>f</i><sub>1/2</sub>), molar ratios (<i>R</i><sub>1/2</sub>), and mole percentages were calculated. The amplitude of variation (%) for each monosaccharide in an EPS fraction was calculated as the variation (mole percentages) between the treatment and control divided by the mole percentage in the control.</div>
