Degradation of extracellular polymeric substances shapes microbial community diversity
Cross-feeding of small metabolites is known to drive carbon exchange among microbial species, but the role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) has been poorly understood. This study shows that...

Near-identical macromolecules spontaneously partition into concentric circles - Nature
A particular liquid–liquid phase separation at a solid–liquid interface led to the unexpected partitioning of highly similar polymeric molecules into concentric circles.

Also annoying to compete with food/flavor for supply, because you know they're paying more for high purity and oilfield wants cheap and pure...enough.
