Microbial Exopolysaccharides: A Review of Their Function and Application in Food Sciences
Extracellular polymeric substances are defined as high molecular weight compounds secreted by the microorganisms in the surrounding area. Since these extracellular substances are mainly polysaccharide, they are named exopolysaccharide. Microbial exopolysaccharides composed of sugar residue have growing interest as a new class of microbial products which can be used in food, pharmaceutical, and ...
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 کاملMicrobial Exopolysaccharide - An Inevitable Product for Living Beings and Environment
Several bacteria, algae, fungi and yeasts are known to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS). Ability of microorganisms to produce EPS is direct and logical response to selective pressures in that natural environment. Exopolysaccharides are studied from hydrothermal vent bacteria, halobacteria, methanogens, autotrophic organisms, acidophiles as well as from ground water and sewage sludge microorgani...
متن کاملPromising biotechnological applications of antibiofilm exopolysaccharides
Polysaccharides are polymers of carbohydrates with an enormous structural diversity, from long linear repetition of the same monomer to highly branched structures of different sugars. This high structural diversity reflects the functional diversity of these molecules. There are two types of polysaccharides, storage polysaccharides (i.e. glycogen) and structural polysaccharides, which are normal...
متن کاملBacterial exopolysaccharides: biosynthesis pathways and engineering strategies
Bacteria produce a wide range of exopolysaccharides which are synthesized via different biosynthesis pathways. The genes responsible for synthesis are often clustered within the genome of the respective production organism. A better understanding of the fundamental processes involved in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and the regulation of these processes is critical toward genetic, metabolic an...
