Journal ArticleDOI
Application of microbial extracellular carbohydrate polymeric substances in food and allied industries
TL;DR: This review summarizes previous work on the structural composition, rheological and thermal behaviour, and biosynthetic pathways of EPS and bioprocesses developed for their production and presents the current knowledge on the importance and refinement of available downstream protocols and genetic engineering towards specific food applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural characterization of the surface-associated heteropolysaccharide of Lactobacillus plantarum TMW 1.1478 and genetic analysis of its putative biosynthesis cluster.
TL;DR: Structural analyses of the cell surface-associated EPS produced by Lactobacillus plantarum TMW 1.1478 broaden the understanding of complex EPS formation from activated sugar nucleotides by L lactobacillian, and its modular organization supports the chemically identified, novel EPS structure.
