The exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum YW32 was purified and
characterized, and the in vitro bioactivities of the purified EPS were also evaluated. The EPS …

The increasing water pollution caused by the presence of nano-and microplastics has
shown a need to pursue solutions to remediate this problem. In this work, an extracellular …

Oceanobacillus iheyensis BK6, isolated from a marine natural biofilm, produced
approximately 400 mg L− 1 extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). FTIR analysis of the …

An exopolysaccharide (EPS) from probiotics Lactobacillus plantarum ZDY2013 was purified
to illustrate its molecular weight, monosaccharide composition and biological activities. The …

Extracellular biopolymer flocculants (EBFs) are flocculating substances, consisting of
polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids, which are secreted in the culture broth by many …

Two bioflocculant producing bacterial isolates from mining soil samples were investigated
for their application in heavy metal removal. The bacterial isolates were identified as …

Abundantly available lignocellulosic biomass may be used as feed stock for various
applications including microbial fuel cells. However, a pre-treatment of such biomass is …

Because of their functional diversity, bioactive compounds are becoming a new biocontrol
agent to limit biofilm formation by pathogens. In this study, the physico-chemical …
