Bacterial Exopolysaccharides and Their Applications: A Short Review
Abstract
Extracellular polymer substances (EPS) are metabolic products of bacteria which accumulate on thecell surface and serve as a protective layer against harsh environmental condition. EPS also serve asa source of energy during the starvation of bacteria. The major structural component of EPS ispolysaccharide, commonly known as exopolysaccharide, is either neutral or polyanionic in nature.Polysaccharides in EPS found different in sugar compositions and moieties, chain length, repeatingunits and substitutions in the side chains. Recently, the usefulness of bacterial exopolysaccharides,has led to discovery by advance technology are found to numerous industrial and medicalapplications. The properties of exopolysaccharides have changed the industrial and medical sectorsdue to their various applications and prospects. These applications have been comprehensive in areassuch as nutraceutical functional food, cosmetics, pharmacological, herbicides and insecticides, whileprospects include uses as antithrombotic, immunomodulator, anticancer and as bio flocculants. Gothrough this article to know different types of bacterial exopolysaccharides, and their differentfunctions in human beings.References (28)
