Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are an essential group of compounds secreted by bacteria. These versatile EPSs are utilized individually or in combination with different materials for a broad range of biomedical field functions. The various applications can be explained by the vast number of derivatives with useful properties that can be controlled. This review offers insight on the current research trend of nine commonly used EPSs, their biosynthesis pathways, their characteristics, and the biomedical applications of these relevant bioproducts.
细菌胞外多糖(EPSs)是细菌分泌的一类重要化合物。这些多功能的EPSs可单独使用,或与不同材料结合,用于广泛的生物医学领域功能。其各种应用可通过大量具有可调控有用特性的衍生物来解释。本综述深入探讨了九种常用EPSs的当前研究趋势、它们的生物合成途径、特性以及这些相关生物制品的生物医学应用。
