Fermentation technologies used for the production of exopolysaccharides
1.1 Introduction There are two main types of biopolymers produced by microorganisms that survive extreme conditions. These are the extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs), considered as a protection against desiccation and predation, and the endocellular polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) that provide an internal reserve of carbon and energy [1]. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are high molecular Read more…
