Mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV) is classified as an exceptionally autosomal recessive condition due to a change in MCOLN1 that encodes the mucolipin-1 protein. ML-1 is a membrane protein comprising 6 Trans regions, which are situated at the LELs, a serine lipase area, and a nuclear localization sign. The characteristic features of the ML4 patients are mental retardation and skeletal deformities due to an increase in lipid molecules in the brain, other tissues, and organs.

The morpho-physiological functions of tomato such as gas exchange, growth and development, flowering, fruit setting, quality, fruit size, weight that can influence the yield and production is drastically affected by higher temperatures. Among the growth stages of tomato, flowering and fruit setting stage is highly vulnerable to high temperature resulting in reduced flower numbers, increased flower abortion, stigma exertion, abnormal ovule, reduced pollen germination, pollen numbers, pollen tube development, pollen viability and increased male sterility.

Here, we report the optimisation of cultural conditions for the organism to achieve maximum EPS production, along with its molecular characterisation, functional properties, and prebiotic potential. The exceptionally high EPS yield (0.
