Exopolysaccharides are secreted mainly by primary colonisers, bacteria, which is succeeded by secondary colonisers <i>i.e.</i> diatoms. Both diatom (<i>Nitzschia </i>sp.<i>4</i>) and bacteria (<i>Bacillus subtilis</i>) were exposed with substrates separately for 30&nbsp;days. Diatoms adhere on substrates strongly, not only because of surface roughness of different substrates but also the nanoporous architecture of diatoms which enhanced their embellishment. This study attempted to identify the substrates that adhere to diatoms strongly and was mainly analyzed by scanning electron microscope and further the observations are well supported by math work software (MATLAB). The variation of diatom’s binding on different substrates is due to the influence of marine litters on diatom population in ocean beds where they undergo slow degradation releasing macro, micro and nanoparticles besides radicals and ions causing cell death. Therefore a proof-of-concept model is developed to successfully deliver a message concerning benefit of using different diatom species.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Exopolysaccharides directed embellishment of diatoms triggered on plastics and other marine litter","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-15 01:33:26.428520","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2020,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-10-30","DateCreate":"2020-10-30","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000587650700034","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-020-74801-7"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":330594,"PubliDate":2020,"Pagination":"11 pp","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"10","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
