Article Synopsis
- The study explored how monosaccharides from lignocellulosic materials affect exopolysaccharide production in Mesorhizobium sp. Semia 816.
- Although using different sugars (glucose, arabinose, xylose) resulted in similar EPS yields around 3.3 g/L, variations in sugar composition were noted, particularly with rhamnose and glucuronic acid levels.
- The findings suggest that lignocellulosic hydrolysates, especially from sources like soybean hulls, could effectively serve as carbon sources for enhancing EPS production, which has potential industrial uses.
