PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE FROM BACILLUS MEGATERIUM 310 AND ITS BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Abstract
Currently, due to the increasing industrial demand for polysaccharides in various sectors of the
national economy, there is a need to discover, study, and utilize exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing microorganisms. In our country, special attention is being paid to obtaining highquality, environmentally friendly, import-substituting biopolymer products based on local raw
materials and their industrial-scale production. To achieve this goal, the following tasks need to
be accomplished: isolating EPS-producing bacteria and evaluating their EPS production potential,
extracting and characterizing EPS produced by bacterial strains, optimizing cultivation conditions
to increase EPS yield, and developing a biotechnology for EPS production based on bacterial
strains. The obtained results can be applied to improve food industry technologies.
