The ability of some cationic pullulan (TMAP-P) and curdlan (TMAP-C) derivative to remove different fungicide particles from synthetic wastewater has been studied. Commercial fungicides formulations of different type, Bordeaux mixture (BM), Dithan M45 (Dt) and Melody Compact49 WG (MC) have been used. The influence of some parameters related to the dispersion characteristics (suspension pH and salinity) and the polysaccharide derivatives (polymer dose, the ionic groups content, flexibility) on the separation process have been assessed. All the polysaccharide samples revealed a good removal efficiency (RE%) for the fungicide formulations prepared in saltless aqueous solutions, namely between 94 and 98 % for BM, 81.5-85 % for Dt, 88-91 % for MC. Slightly higher residual fungicides absorbance percent values for the suspensions prepared in the presence of salts (up to 7 %) than those prepared in water have been noticed. Less amount of BM and MC particles were removed in acidic pH than in water and basic pH, while contrary results were recorded in case of Dt ones, irrespective of the flocculant used. However, the RE% values were located between 79 % and 98 % over the entirely suspension pH investigated. Both zeta potential and floc size measurements indicated the charge patch flocculation mechanism for the fungicide particles separation.

The application of probiotics as adjunctive therapy in colorectal cancer treatment is hindered by the paucity of strains with specialized functions and the instability of their in vivo efficacy. The design of innovative and simple encapsulation strategies to enhance their stability and efficacy of probiotics has garnered substantial interest. This study investigated four Bifidobacterium longum strains from human feces for tolerance and cytotoxicity, and then synthesized a cationic polysaccharide, pullulan-spermine (PS), for probiotic encapsulation.

Haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA is a member of the α/β-hydrolase superfamily and can degrade the halogenated compounds. However, the enzyme could not tolerate harsh and extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature, extreme pH, and hypersaline, which limits its practical applications. Pullulan is a hydrophilic polysaccharide and acts as an additive to improve the enzyme stability.

In this study, we designed novel self-healing hydrogels (CMC/DAQP-HGs) using carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and dialdehyde quaternized pullulan (DAQP), aimed at loading tranexamic acid (TA) for rapid hemostasis. Meanwhile, CMC/dialdehyde pullulan (DAP) hydrogels (CMC/DAP-HGs) were prepared for comparison with CMC/DAQP-HGs. Experimental results showed that (1) DAQP, DAP, CMC/DAQP-HGs, and CMC/DAP-HGs were successfully prepared; (2) both types of hydrogels demonstrated excellent swelling (swelling ratio of 12.

Conjugates of the biocompatible polysaccharide pullulan with a cell membrane permeabilizing peptide L17E (PL-L17Es) were prepared with the aim of producing complex coacervates with pronounced intracellular antibody (IgG) delivery activity and stable structures. Coacervates with diameters of a few μm were formed simply by mixing PL-L17Es with IgG labeled with negatively charged fluorescent moieties of Alexa Fluor 488 [IgG(AF488)]. The coacervate resulted in a pronounced cytosolic infusion of IgG(AF488) and IgG binding to the target proteins inside the cell.
