Exopolysaccharides as Antimicrobial Agents: Mechanism and Spectrum of Activity

Exopolysaccharides as Antimicrobial Agents: Mechanism and Spectrum of Activity

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are metabolites synthesized and excreted by a variety of microorganisms, including lactic acid bacteria (LAB). EPS serve several biological functions such as interactions between bacteria and their environments, protection against hostile conditions including dehydration, t...
