Aggregation and construction mechanisms of microbial extracellular polymeric substances with the presence of different multivalent cations: Molecular dynamic simulation and experimental verification

•A molecular model was built to reveal the arrangements and dynamic characteristics of biopolymers in EPS.•Biopolymers form agglomerates spontaneously through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.•Rearrangement of EPS molecular conformation reduced the exposure of hydrophilic groups.•Contact o...
