Bacterial Exopolysaccharides: Functionality and Prospects (2012, methodology): “The limitation of the applications of some of these bacterial polysaccharides has been largely due to cost of production relative to their commercial value; however the approach generally employed to address this problem includes; using cheaper substrates, improving product yield by optimizing ferme”

Strategies for recovery and purification of poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxyalkanoates] (PHA) biopolyesters from surrounding biomass (2013, background): “In contrast to the fact that about 150 hydroxyalkanoates are described as potential PHA building blocks [92, 93], and a majority of far beyond 90% of them are mcl-PHA constituents, information about the characteristics and properties of mcl-PHA is rather scarce if compared to the well-grounded knowl”
Extracellular polymeric substances of bacteria and their potential environmental applications. (2014, background): “The use of the polyamide as cross linked PGA is the established bioflocculant (Rehm, 2010; Shih and Van, 2001).”
A review of bacterial cellulose‐based drug delivery systems: their biochemistry, current approaches and future prospects (2014, background): “β-proteobacteria, γ-proteobacteria (Gram-negative) and Gram-positive bacteria.([14]) BC can be manufactured in the laboratory, and is also produced in the preparation of foods, such as nata de coco, an indigenous sweet confectionary found in East Asia.”
Microbial biofilm: formation, architecture, antibiotic resistance, and control strategies (2021, background): “In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, three exopolysaccharides, namely Pel, Psl, and alginate, contribute predominantly to biofilm formation and maintaining biofilm architecture [38].”
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms (2020, background): “The biofilm is a complex aggregate of bacteria encased in a self-generated matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and is one of the key strategies for the survival of species against unexpected changes of living conditions such as temperature and nutrient availability [10,16,17].”
