Exopolysaccharide (EPS) Producing Bacteria of Sundarbans Mangrove Forest Soil

The putative protective role of the exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing

Physicochemical and Antioxidant Properties of Honeys from the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest of Bangladesh

This study evaluated the physicochemical, nutritional, antioxidant, and phenolic properties of ten honey samples from the Sundarbans mangrove forest, Bangladesh. The average pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solid, ash, moisture, hydroxymethyl furfural, titrable acidity, and absorbance were 4.3, 0.38 mS/cm, 187.5 ppm, 0.14%, 17.88%, 4.4 mg/kg, 37.7 meq/kg, and 483 mAU, respectively. ...

Isolation and characterization of exopolysaccharide from biofilm producing marine bacteria

Marine bacterial exopolysaccharides are fascinating industrial uses and presence of bioactive compounds. In this present study , Exopolysaccharide producing Micrococcus sp isolated from Arabian Sea and was identified by morphological and biochemical characteristics. Exopolysaccharide characterized by Infra Red spectroscopy and Antibacterial activity done by disc diffusion method with the clinic...

Aggregation by depletion attraction in cultures of bacteria producing exopolysaccharide.

In bacteria, the production of exopolysaccharides--polysaccharides secreted by the cells into their growth medium--is integral to the formation of aggregates and biofilms. These exopolysaccharides often form part of a matrix that holds the cells together. Investigating the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, we found that a mutant that overproduces the exopolysaccharide succinoglycan showed enhan...

Isolation of antibacterial material-producing bacteria from saline soil

Saline soils are widely spread in Iran. These intact soils are a great source for the isolation of new bacteria with highly functional metabolites in biotechnology. Actinomycete strains were isolated on starch casein agar and ISP2 with different concentrations of sodium chloride (0, 5 and 10%) from treated soil samples. Pure colonies were cultured on a casein glycerol medium. After complete gro...
