Exopolysaccharides from Enterobacter sp. ACD2 isolated from the Tabuk area of Saudi Arabia have biological and microbiological activity
Author(s): Clare Brown*
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) from bacteria have been shown to have industrial and medicinal applications. By improving the culture conditions of Enterobacter sp. isolated from the marine environment of Haqel Beach in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia, our group has previously obtained a high yield of EPS production (8.6 gm/L). The chosen strain was then identified using traditional techniques and molecular characterization utilizing 16S Ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene sequencing. The composition of this EPS was established in this study, and its anticoagulant, fibrinolytic, antibacterial, and prebiotic actions were assessed. We used acid hydrolysis and qualitative and quantitative paper chromatography to identify the monosaccharide moieties of this EPS (PC). This EPS had almost 25% glucose, 25% galactose, 40% fucose, 10% uronic acid, and traces of fructose in its monosaccharide composition... Read More»
