Summary:[Display omitted] •Hydrophobicity of LB- and TB-EPS extracted from anaerobic granular sludge treating paper mill effluent are characterized.•Different EPS extraction methods yield different EPS molecular features with different hydrophobic properties.•LB-EPS are more hydrophobic than TB-EPS.•HS-like structures are the major molecular support of the EPS hydrophobicity.
