Exploring the Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides as Innovative and Eco-Friendly Cleansing Agents: A Review
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are high molecular weight carbohydrate polymers secreted by bacteria, fungi, and algae, representing an important class of bio-based materials with wide ranging industrial and environmental applications. These polymers are broadly classified into capsular polysaccharides, which remain tightly bound to the microbial cell surface, and slime polysaccharides, which are released into the extracellular medium. The structural diversity of EPS, determined by variations
