Microbial Exopolysaccharides as Drug Carriers [PDF]
Polymers, 2020 Microbial exopolysaccharides are peculiar polymers that are produced by living organisms and protect them against environmental factors. These polymers are industrially recovered from the medium culture after performing a fermentative process. These materials are biocompatible and biodegradable, possessing specific and beneficial properties for ...

Bacterial Exopolysaccharides: Functionality and Prospects [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2012 Diverse structural, functional and valuable polysaccharides are synthesized by bacteria of all taxa and secreted into the external environment. These polysaccharides are referred to as exopolysaccharides and they may either be homopolymeric or heteropolymeric in composition and of diverse high molecular weights (10 to 1000 kDa). The material properties

Exopolysaccharides Producing Bacteria: A Review [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are essential natural biopolymers used in different areas including biomedicine, food, cosmetic, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals and also in environmental remediation. The interest in them is primarily due to their unique structure and properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, higher purity, hydrophilic ...

Bacterial exopolysaccharides – a perception
Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2007AbstractMicrobial 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
1998A 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, 1987Extracellular 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
2020During 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, 2021Mounting 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
2014The 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 ...

Biosynthesis of Microbial Exopolysaccharides
1982Publisher Summary This chapter surveys current knowledge of the production and synthesis of microbial exopolysaccharides. Although the emphasis is on bacterial polymers, relevant information is included on similar products from yeasts, fungi, and other eukaryotes.
