Sustainable Exopolysaccharide Production by <i>Rhizobium viscosum</i> CECT908 Using Corn Steep Liquor and Sugarcane Molasses as Sole Substrates

Sustainable Exopolysaccharide Production by <i>Rhizobium viscosum</i> CECT908 Using Corn Steep Liquor and Sugarcane Molasses as Sole Substrates

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are promising alternatives to synthetic polymers in a variety of applications. Their high production costs, however, limit their use despite their outstanding properties. The use of low-cost substrates such as agro-industrial wastes in their production, can help to...
