Exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing bacteria are of growing interest in industrial processes, mainly concerning food. Lactic acid bacteria are widely appreciated for their GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status and their ...

Synthetic petroleum-based polymers and natural plant polymers have the disadvantage of restricted sources, in addition to the non-Biodegradability of the former ones. In contrast, eco-sustainable microbial polysaccharides, ...

Increasing attention has been given, over the past decades, to the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) from rhizobia, due to their various biotechnological applications. Overall characterization of biopolymers involves ...

The search for new biomaterials with superior mechanical properties is the focus in the area of materials science. A promising pathway is drawing inspiration from nature to design and develop materials with enhanced ...

Objective: The effects of monosaccharide constituents of lignocellulosic materials on exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by Mesorhizobium sp. Semia 816 were studied. Results: According to the results, by using sugars ...

The Araripe Basin, located in northeastern Brazil, originated during the Gondwana continental break-up responsible for the opening of the South Atlantic during the Early Cretaceous. In the Araripe Basin, the post-rift ...

The aim of this paper was to correlate the elemental distribution of alloying elements with the MIC attack morphology of the AA2024 T351 alloy by the fungus Hormoconis resinae. Anodic polarisation was applied up to the Ep ...

Inoculants with beneficial microorganisms comprise both selected strains and carriers that ensure a favorable microenvironment for cell survival and stability. Formulations of inoculants using synthetic polymers as carriers ...

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) is a general term for the forms of bacterial polysaccharides found outside the cell wall of bacteria. The industrial microbiologist has become interested in exploiting microbial exopolymer production ...
