While the definition of soluble microbial products (SMP) remains somewhat contentious, they have been widely accepted to be the pool of organic compounds which are released by cells into their surroundings (liquid or otherwise) due to substrate metabolism and biomass decay. SMPs are also potential precursors of disinfection by-products, and are known to be important in membrane fouling. With recent developments in analytical methodologies, many of the low molecular weight (MW) compounds can now be identified, although th
