For the screening of a new functional exopolysaccharide, sugar composition and rheological properties of exopolysaccharide produced from Xanthomonas sp. EPS-1 were investigated. The average molecular weight of exopolysaccharide was determined to be approximately 2.l $\times$ 10$^{6}$ dalton. The new exopolysaccharide EPS-1 was composed of mannose, glucose, galactose and gluco- samine. IR analysis showed that the exopolysaccharide EPS-1 was assumed to be polymer with carbohydrates. NMR analysis showed that exopolysaccharide EPS-1 was presumed to be 4 units of sugar and trace of CH$_{3}$ group. Exopolysaccharide EPS-1 solution showed a characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid properties. At the concentration of 1.0%, the consistency index and the flow behavior index were shown at 10.8352 poise-sec and 0.4419, respectively. All dispersions were pseudoplastic fluids described accurately by Power-law model. Exopolysaccharide EPS-1 was highly viscous at low concentration, with good stability over a wide range of pH 5 to 13. The excellent compatibility of exopolysaccharide EPS-1 was represented with salts such as sodium chloride.

After random mutagenesis, the mutant Lactobacillus plantarum GNS300 showed improved exopolysaccharide production as determined by the quantification of total sugar. The mutant L. plantarum GNS300 produced 2.82 g/l of exopolysaccharide which showed 79.62% improved exopolysaccharide production compared with the parental strain. When exopolysaccharide of L. plantarum GNS300 was analyzed, the exopolysaccharide is composed of galactose (93.35%) and glucose (6.65%). Through the optimization of fermentation conditions using a bioreactor, 2.93 g/l of exopolysaccharide was produced from 20 g/l of glucose at 35℃, 500 rpm, and 0.1 vvm for 12 h. The mutant L. plantarum GNS300 exhibited 69.18% higher antioxidant activity than that from the parental strain, which might be caused by higher exopolysaccharide production. The concentrated supernatant of the mutant L. plantarum GNS300 inhibited the growth of gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Salmonella typhimurium).

For effective exopolysaccharide production and mycelial growth by a liquid culture of Fomitopsis pinicola in an air-lift bioreactor, the culture temperature, pH, carbon source, nitrogen source, and mineral source were initially investigated in a flask. The optimal temperature and pH for mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production were $25^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. Among the various carbon sources tested, glucose was found to be the most suitable carbon source. In particular, the maximum mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production were achieved in 4% glucose. The best nitrogen sources were yeast extract and malt extract. The optimal concentrations of yeast extract and malt extract were 0.5 and 0.1%, respectively. $K_2HPO_4\;and\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ were found to be the best mineral sources for mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production. In order to investigate the effect of aeration on mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production in an air-lift bioreactor, various aerations were tested for 8 days. The maximum mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production were 7.9 g/l and 2.6 g/l, respectively, at 1.5 vvm of aeration. In addition, a batch culture in an air-lift bioreactor was carried out for 11 days under the optimal conditions. The maximum mycelial growth was 10.4 g/l, which was approximately 1.7-fold higher than that of basal medium. The exopolysaccharide production was increased with increased culture time. The maximum concentration of exopolysaccharide was 4.4 g/l, which was about 3.3-fold higher than that of basal medium. These results indicate that exopolysaccharide production increased in parallel with the growth of mycelium, and also show that product formation is associated with mycelial growth. The developed model in an air-lift bioreactor showed good agreement with experimental data and simulated results on mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production in the culture of F. pinicola.

A screening was performed to isolate exoploysaccharide-producing microorganisms, which synthesized specific exopolysaccharide for the substitutive of commercial polysaccharides, from natural sources. Soil bacterium, one of 378 mucoid isolates, was finally selected as potential producer of polysaccharides which made the culture broth very viscous and thus examined in detail for optimal medium composition. Isolated strain was identified as Xanthomonas sp. EPS- 1 from the results of morphological and biochemical characteristics. The composition of optimal medium for exopolysaccharide production was as follows: 50 g sucrose, 1.5 g peptone, 2 g KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 2 g MgSO$_{4}$, -7H$_{2}$O, 3 g NaCl, 0.05 g CaCO$_{3}$, 0.07 g FeSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$O and 0.05 g MnSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$O in 1 liter of distilled water. From the experiments of temperature and pH dependence, the optimal conditions for exopolysaccharide biosynthesis seemed to be 30$\circ$C and 8.0, respectively. About 14.9 gram of maximum exopolysaccharide per liter was obtained at the initial pH 8.0, 30$\circ$C and 250 rpm in a flask culture. The exopolysaccharide EPS-1 had such potential as an emulsifying agent and a gelling agent in comparision with commercial exopolysaccharide.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of antibacterial activity of Tibetan mushroom exopolysaccharide against foodborne pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus 305, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC19114, Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC42894 and Escherichia coli O55. The yield of exopolysaccharide isolated from Tibetan mushroom culture was 620 mg/L. The antibacterial activity of exopolysaccharide against foodborne pathogenic bacteria exhibited 15 mm and 12 mm clear zone against S. aureus 305 and L. monocytogenes ATCC 19114, respectively. However, no clear zone was observed against E. coli O157:H7 ATCC 42894 and E. coli O55. In conclusion, exopolysaccharide isolated from Tibetan mushroom culture have the antibacterial activity only against Gram-positive foodborne pathogenic bacteria.

Aureobasidium pullulans에 의한 세포외 다속류 생성연구를 통한 결론은 다음과 같다. (1) sucrose 농도가 50 g/l 이상일 때는 기질에 의한 저해 작용이 나타나고 있음을 알았으며 실소원의 증가에 따라서 균체량은 증가하지만 세포외 다속류 생성은 최적농도 (1 g/l )까지 증가하고 그 이상에서는 감소했으며 멜라닌 색소 출현시간은 길어졌다. (2) 최대 균체 성장은 초기 pH 3.0에서 보인 반면에 세포외 다속류 생성은 초기 pH 7.5에서 최대 값은 나타내었고 최대 PH가 증가함에 따라서 효모형 비율이 증가했으며 멜라닌 색소 출현시간은 pH 4.5~8까지는 거의 일정하게 나타났지만 pH 3 이하에서는 전혀 멜라닌 색소가 나타나지 않았다. (3) 탄소원과 실소원을 증가시켰을 때 pH 5 이하에서는 멜라닌 색소는 나타나지 않았으나 pH 6에서 pH 8.5 로 pH가 높아짐에 따라 멜라닌 색소는 빨리 나타나는 경향을 보였다. (4) 용존산소 농도가 높을수록 균체량과 세포외 다속류 생성이 증가했고 멜라닌 색소 출현시간이 빨라졌으며 potassium phosphate가 전혀 들어있지 않는 배지에서는 멜라닌 색소 출현은 관찰할수가 없었다.

The recombinant plasmid pLEX2FP complements the mutation in Zoogloea ramigera 115MM1, and the complemented mutant produces an exopolysaccharide that shows higher affinity for the calcofluor dye than the exopolysaccharide from Z. ramigera 115SLR, resulting in higher fluorescence intensity under UV light. A compositional and structural analysis of the exopolysaccharide from Z. ramigera 115MM1 showed that the different fluorescent properties were due to a lower content of acetyl groups when compared with Z. ramigera 115SLR exopolysaccharide. These results were in agreement with a sequence analysis of the gene carried in the plasmid pLEX2FP, which appeared to encode an O-acyltransferase highly homologous to the 3-O-acyltransferase of Streptomyces mycarofaciens. The gene encoding the acyltransferase from Z. ramigera 115SLR was expressed as a GST-fusion protein with 70,000 daltons in E. coli.

Organic substances are released from phytoplankton cells during all phases of growth. The type and amounts of organic substance excreted and the effects of nutrient limitation are often highly species-specific. Dinoflagellate, Cochlodinium polykrikoides grown in batch culture produced an exopolysaccharide. Exopolysaccharide and intracellular polysaccharide concentrations increased as C. polykrikoides cultures progressed from exponential phase, through stationary phase, to declining phase. In the exponential phase, the concentration of exopolysaccharide was relatively low, but in the stationary phase, it showed a rapid increase which seemed to coincide with the depletion of nitrate from the medium. Of the 20 amino acids analyzed, proline dominated in the organic matter of all cultures ranging from 48.2 to 79.9 nmol L–1, and constituting the 20-90% of total amino acids, and followed by histamine varying from 0.7 to 47.5 nmol L–1. Leucine and cysteine were also abundant in the stationary phase. The release rates of exopolysaccharide and intracellualr polysaccharide were higher the end of stationary phase than in the exponential phase. Exopolysaccharide concentration per cell was more than two times higher during the end of stationary phase than that in exponential phase. C. polykrikoides produced extracellular polysaccharide at a rate of 47.04 pg cell–1 day–1.
