The pH value was essential for the growth and metabolism of microorganisms. Acidic pH exopolysaccharide (AC-EPS) and alkaline pH exopolysaccharide (AL-EPS) secreted by A. australica QD mediated by pH were studied in this paper. The total carbohydrate content and molecular weight of AC-EPS (79.59% ± 2.24% (w/w), 8.374 × 10 Da) and AL-EPS (82.48% ± 1.46% (w/w), 6.182 × 10 Da) were estimated and compared. In AC-EPS, mannose (3.78%) and galactose (3.24%) content was more, while the proportion of glucuronic acid was less in comparison to AL-EPS. The scanning electron microscopy revealed the structural differences among the AC-EPS and AL-EPS. Thermogravimetric analysis showed degradation temperatures of 272.8 °C and 244.9 °C for AC-EPS and AL-EPS, respectively. AC-EPS was found to exhibit better rheological properties and emulsifying capabilities, while AL-EPS had superior antioxidant activities. Overall, both AC-EPS and AL-EPS have the potential to be used as emulsifiers and biological antioxidants.
pH 值对微生物的生长和代谢至关重要。本文研究了 A. australica QD 分泌的酸性 pH 值胞外多糖(AC-EPS)和碱性 pH 值胞外多糖(AL-EPS)。测定并比较了 AC-EPS(79.59%±2.24%(w/w),8.374×10 Da)和 AL-EPS(82.48%±1.46%(w/w),6.182×10 Da)的总糖含量和分子量。在 AC-EPS 中,甘露糖(3.78%)和半乳糖(3.24%)的含量较高,而与 AL-EPS 相比,葡萄糖醛酸的比例较低。扫描电子显微镜揭示了 AC-EPS 和 AL-EPS 之间的结构差异。热重分析表明,AC-EPS 和 AL-EPS 的降解温度分别为 272.8°C 和 244.9°C。发现 AC-EPS 具有更好的流变性能和乳化能力,而 AL-EPS 具有更好的抗氧化活性。总的来说,AC-EPS 和 AL-EPS 都有可能用作乳化剂和生物抗氧化剂。
