Screening and characterization of Lactobacillus strains producing large amounts of exopolysaccharides [PDF]
A total of 182 Lactobacillus strains were screened for production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) by a new method: growth in liquid media with high sugar concentrations. Sixty EPS-positive strains were identified; 17 strains produced more than 100
