The Potential Biotechnological Applications of the Exopolysaccharide Produced by the Halophilic Bacterium <em>Halomonas almeriensis</em>

The Potential Biotechnological Applications of the Exopolysaccharide Produced by the Halophilic Bacterium <em>Halomonas almeriensis</em>

We have studied the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) produced by the type strain, M8<sup>T</sup>, of the halophilic bacterium <em>Halomonas almeriensis</em>, to ascertain whether it might have any biotechnological applications. All the cultur...
