Enhanced Barley Growth in Petroleum-Contaminated Soil Mediated by Xanthan-like Exopolysaccharide of Xanthomonas translucens TRK8
) values were below 1 (-0.338, -0.499, and -0.647, respectively), indicating shear-thinning behaviour (i.e., pseudoplasticity). The potential of the TRK8-derived EPS as a plant protection agent was validated by coating barley seeds with 2 wt.% EPS, resulting in a 28.6% increase in shoot length and a 64.7% increase in root length relative to the oil-stressed control.
