Characterization of Microbial Communities Associated with Ceramic Raw Materials as Potential Contributors for the Improvement of Ceramic Rheological Properties

23 May 2019

The study delves into the microbial communities associated with ceramic raw materials and slips to investigate their potential role in enhancing the rheological properties of ceramics. By employing both culture-dependent and -independent techniques, the research identified a diverse array of bacteria and fungi in the clay raw materials and ceramic suspensions. Notably, the presence of potential exopolysaccharide (EPS) producers such as Sphingomonas sp., Pseudomonas xanthomarina, and Acinetobacter lwoffii was observed, indicating the capacity for these microorganisms to influence ceramic properties through EPS production. The findings underscore the significance of microbial

Learning from disabled people about qualities and obstacles in historic cities. The case of Liège.
