متن کاملMicrobial Exopolysaccharides: Biosynthesis and Potential Applications
Many bacteria synthesize extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) with commercially significant physiological and therapeutic activities. Microbial polysaccharides have also been reported to have potential therapeutic applications. Recently, much attention has been devoted to the microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) due to their numerous health beneûts.EPSs from lactic acid bacteria are reported to ...
متن کاملPresent and future medical applications of microbial exopolysaccharides
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) have found outstanding medical applications since the mid-20th century, with the first clinical trials on dextran solutions as plasma expanders. Other EPS entered medicine firstly as conventional pharmaceutical excipients (e.g., xanthan - as suspension stabilizer, or pullulan - in capsules and oral care products). Polysaccharides, initially obtained from plant...
متن کاملMethods to identify the unexplored diversity of microbial exopolysaccharides
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are a structurally very diverse class of molecules. A number of them have found their application in rather diverging fields that extend from medicine, food, and cosmetics on the one side to construction, drilling, and chemical industry on the other side. The analysis of microbial strains for their competence in polysaccharide production has therefore been a m...
متن کاملMicrobial exopolysaccharides-structural subtleties and their consequences
Microbial extracellular heteropolysaccharides are mainly linear molecules to which side chains of varying length and complexity are attached at regular intervals. Examination of 'families' of microbial exopolysacchaiide with closely related structures enables us to determine the effect of minor (or major) changes to structure on the physical properties of these macromolecules. Changes may also ...
