Production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) enables bacteria to form biofilms, make endospores. grow in cold climates such as the Arctic. communicate with other cells. undergo DNA mediated transformation. Solution Production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) enables bacteria to form biofilms b.make endospores c.grow in cold climates such as the Arctic d. Communicate with other cells e.Undergo DNA mediated transformation Explaination: EPSs establish the structural and functional integrity of the biofilms, and these are considered as the fundamental components that determines the physiochemical properties of a biofilm. So answer is option A.
