Preparation, properties and potential applications of exopolysaccharides from bacteria of the genera Xanthobacter and Ancylobater

Аннотация

Two new bacterial biopolymers (exopolysaccharides), ancylan and xylophilan, have been isolated and characterized. The optimal parameters for ancylan and xylophilan production under laboratory conditions were selected. Their physicochemical properties and effects on microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and ciliates) were studied. The results suggest the potential application of these new exopolysaccharides in medicine and veterinary science.
