Recent research in the area of importance of microbes has revealed the immense industrial potential of exopolysaccharides and their derivative oligosaccharides from lactic acid bacteria. However, due to lack of adequate technological knowledge, the exopolysaccharides have remained largely under exploited. In the present review, the enormous potentials of different types of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria are described. This also summarizes the recent advances in the applications of exopolysaccharides, certain problems associated with their commercial production and the remedies.
最近在微生物重要性领域的研究揭示了乳酸菌胞外多糖及其衍生低聚糖的巨大工业潜力。然而,由于缺乏足够的技术知识,这些胞外多糖在很大程度上尚未得到充分利用。在本综述中,描述了乳酸菌不同类型胞外多糖的巨大潜力。还总结了胞外多糖应用的最新进展、与商业生产相关的某些问题及其解决办法。
