Microbial exopolysaccharides are biothickeners that can be added to a wide variety of food
products, where they serve as viscosifying, stabilizing, emulsifying or gelling agents …

The extracellular matrix is an integral part of microbial biofilms and an important field of
research. Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a valuable tool for the study of biofilms, and …

The ability to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) is widespread among lactic acid bacteria
(LAB), although the physiological role of these molecules has not been clearly established …

The impact of microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on dairy
products such as yoghurt, cheese, or milk based desserts has been extensively described in …

Majority of the polysaccharides used in foods are of plant, animal and algae origin. The
exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have gained …

Mineral dissolution experiments using batch cultures of soil and groundwater bacteria were
monitored with solution chemistry and various microscopic techniques to determine the …

This study investigated the effects of two Streptococcus thermophilus strains, ST 285 and ST
1275, on selected technological and rheological characteristics of set-type yoghurt. The …

Many species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce extracellular heterotype polysaccharides,
the so-called heteropolysaccharides (HePS). Biosynthesis and secretion of the HePS from …

This review gives an overview of the importance of interactions occurring in dairy matrices
between Lactic Acid Bacteria and milk components. Dairy products are important sources of …

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) from lactic acid bacteria are a diverse group of polysaccharides
exhibiting various functional properties. Two forms of EPS are produced by lactic acid …
