Bacterial exopolysaccharides: Biosynthesis pathways and engineering strategies

Bacterial exopolysaccharides: Biosynthesis pathways and engineering strategies

Bacteria produce a wide range of exopolysaccharides (EPS) which are synthesized via different biosynthesis pathways. The genes responsible for synthesis are often clustered within the genome of the respective production organism. A better understanding of the fundamental processes involved in exopol...
