Bacterial exopolysaccharides – a perception

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2007
AbstractMicrobial polysaccharides are multifunctional and can be divided into intracellular polysaccharides, structural polysaccharides and extracellular polysaccharides or exopolysaccharides (EPS). Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), produced by both prokaryotes (eubacteria and archaebacteria) and eukaryotes (phytoplankton, fungi, and algae ...

Production of Exopolysaccharides

1998
A broad variety of bacteria including the Rhizobiaceae are able to secrete polysaccharides. Sugar polymers that form an adherent cohesive layer on the cell surface are designated capsular polysacharides (CPS), whereas the term exopolysaccharide (EPS) is used for polysaccharides with little or no cell association.

Analysis of bacterial exopolysaccharides

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, 1987
Extracellular polysaccharides have been isolated from cultures of freshwater and marine bacteria originally isolated from material adhering to surfaces and underivatized hydrolysates have been analyzed by high‐performance liquid chromatography methods.

Exopolysaccharides and Biofilms

2020
During infection, many fungal pathogens form biofilms within tissues or on biomedical devices. The growth of fungi within biofilms increases dramatically their resistance to both immune defences and antifungal therapies. In the last twenty years, studies have begun to shed light on many of the steps involved in biofilm synthesis and composition ...

Yeast exopolysaccharides and their physiological functions

Folia Microbiologica, 2021
Mounting evidence indicated the capability of various microorganisms in biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). A wide range of evidence extensively investigated the ability of bacterial species for EPS synthesis and their favorable effects, so little is known regarding yeast species.

Exopolysaccharide Quantification

2014
The extracellular (EC) matrix is a key feature of mature P. aeruginosa biofilms. Exopolysaccharides are considered as major components of this biofilm matrix. They include alginate, LPS, glucans, and psl- and pel-dependent products. Here, we describe a method of quantification of the psl-dependent mannose-rich exopolysaccharide, based on the ...
