Abstract
The Perfect Slime presents the latest state of knowledge and a wide range of aspects of the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix – from the ecological and health to the antifouling perspectives. The book brings together all the current material in order to expand our understanding of the functions, properties and characteristics of the matrix as well as the possibilities to strengthen or weaken it.
