Article Synopsis
  • Two novel strains of bacteria isolated from pregnant women's vaginal sources were selected for their ability to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) and showed significant production levels in minimal media after anaerobic fermentation.
  • The strains exhibited probiotic properties and their EPS production was optimized through various methods, identifying key factors such as sucrose, yeast extract, and pH or magnesium sulfate that enhance yield.
  • After optimizing fermentation conditions, the EPS production increased substantially, with one strain yielding 9.76 g/l and the other 7.74 g/l, indicating potential for industrial applications.

Enterococcus bacteria are studied in various sectors including fermentation, food and dairy industries,as well as studied for their probiotic properties but have limited use due to their possible pathogenic behavior. The present report talks about the metabolites produced, by the previously isolated Enterococcus strain, E.villorum SB2 (accession number KX830968), from the vaginal source.

Two-dimensional (2D) Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has become one of the most exciting areas of research for adsorbents due to its high surface area and abundant active sites. Mainly, 2D MoS show promising removal of textile dye pollutants by adsorption process, but it show high affinity for anionic type of dyes, that limits its performance in mixed dye pollutants treatment. Herein, we demonstrate an integrated approach to remove mixed dye pollutants (anionic and cationic) concurrently by combining adsorption and photocatalysis process.
