Optimization of exopolysaccharides production by Bacillus subtilis
TL;DR: The basal medium (BM) was appeared to be the optimum medium among the seven tested media at 150 rpm and Sucrose was the best carbon source stimulating the maximum production of EPS followed by mannitol.

Marine fungi as a potential source of future cosmeceuticals
TL;DR: Some bioactives with novel scaffolds or new biological activities, obtained from this group of fungi, warrant further development as cosmeceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemo-characterization and optimization of macro and micro nutrients for exopolysaccharides and mycelia growth in pleurotus tuberregium (RUMPH, EX FR)
TL;DR: Exopolysaccharides have potential applications in pharmaceutical, neutraceutical, and probiotical for many devastating diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
Book ChapterDOI
Microfouling in industrial cooling water systems
TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe the formation of biofilms in cooling water pipelines and their role in the degradation of cooling water structural materials and cause severe failures. But, they do not discuss the monitoring procedures and plausible control methods for microbial fouling process.
