Abstract
This study investigates the production and characterization of exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthesized by Bacillus subtilis 308 and evaluates their biological properties. The research focuses on optimizing cultivation conditions to increase EPS yield and analyzing their physicochemical characteristics.
The results indicate that microbial EPS have significant potential for use in food, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and environmental applications due to their functional properties, cost-effectiveness, and independence from seasonal factors. This study highlights the importance of microbial exopolysaccharides as promising biopolymers for industrial use.Overall, this work highlights the biotechnological potential of microbial exopolysaccharides and provides a scientific basis for their industrial application.
