Microbial Biopolymers: The Exopolysaccharides
Angelina,S. V. N. Vijayendra +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter briefly gives an introduction to PHA and provides recent developments in the genetic and metabolic pathways for the synthesis of microbial EPS, and possible ways to minimize the cost of production and downstream processing are covered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery Techniques Enabling Circular Chemistry from Wastewater
TL;DR: This review focuses on the recovery of biologically produced carboxylic acids, including volatile fatty acids, medium-chain carboxal acids, long-chain dicarboxyLic acids, and indirectly produced unsaturated short-chain acids (USCA), as well as polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural characterization of exopolysaccharide from Streptococcus thermophilus ASCC 1275.
TL;DR: This study purified and characterized exopolysaccharide produced by a high-EPS-producing dairy starter bacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus ASCC 1275 and proposed a possible structure of EPS in F2 and F3.
Journal ArticleDOI
EpsN from Bacillus subtilis 168 has UDP-2,6-dideoxy 2-acetamido 4-keto glucose aminotransferase activity in vitro.
TL;DR: The gene epsN of Bacillus subtilis 168 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli and mutagenesis studies showed that, in addition to Lys190, Ser185, Glu164, Gly58 and Thr59 are essential for aminotransferase activity.
