Methods 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 Diversity: Exploring the Unexplored
The most useful definition of biodiversity is that given by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources; biodiversity encompasses all life forms, ecosystems and ecological processes and acknowledges the hierarchy at genetic, taxon and ecosystem levels. Microbial diversity on the other hand includes the diversity of bacteria, protozoans, fungi, unicellular algae and ...

متن کاملThe Dynamic Arctic Snow Pack: An Unexplored Environment for Microbial Diversity and Activity
The Arctic environment is undergoing changes due to climate shifts, receiving contaminants from distant sources and experiencing increased human activity. Climate change may alter microbial functioning by increasing growth rates and substrate use due to increased temperature. This may lead to changes of process rates and shifts in the structure of microbial communities. Biodiversity may increas...
متن کاملMicrobial Exopolysaccharides: Natural Modulators of Dairy Products
Article history: Received on: 25/07/2014 Revised on: 18/08/2014 Accepted on: 09/09/2014 Available online: 30/10/2014 Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are considered as natural bio-thickeners abundantly used in dairy and fermented food industries for quality improvement. In fermentation based dairy industries, researchers are seeking their attention on substitution of artificial food stabilize...
