Abstract
Synthetic polymers have been widely thriving as mega industries at a commercial scale in various commercial sectors over the last few decades. The extensive use of synthetic polymers has caused several negative repercussions on the health of humans and the environment. Recently, biopolymers have gained more attention among scientists of different disciplines by their potential therapeutic and commercial applications. Biopolymers are chain-like repeating units of molecules isolated from green sources. They are self-degradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic in nature. Recently, eco-friendly biopolymers such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) have received much attention for their wide applications in the fields of emulsification, flocculation, preservatives, wastewater treatment, nanomaterial functionalization, drug delivery, cosmetics, glycomics, medicinal chemistry, and purification technology. The dynamicity of applications has raised the industrial and consumer demands to cater to the needs of mankind. This review deals with current insights and highlights on database surveys, potential sources, classification, extremophilic EPSs, bioprospecting, patents, microenvironment stability, biosynthesis, and genetic advances for production of high valued ecofriendly polymers. The importance of high valued EPSs in commercial and industrial applications in the global market economy is also summarized. This review concludes with future perspectives and commercial applications for the well-being of humanity.

ISME COMMUNICATIONS 2024; 4:ycae038. [PMID: 38616925 PMCID: PMC11014887 DOI: 10.1093/ismeco/ycae038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are produced by microorganisms and interact to form a complex matrix called biofilm. In soils, EPS are important contributors to the microbial necromass and, thus, to soil organic carbon (SOC). Amino sugars (AS) are used as indicators for microbial necromass in soil, although the origin of galactosamine and mannosamine is largely unknown. However, indications exist that they are part of EPS. In this study, two bacteria and two fungi were grown in starch medium either with or without a quartz matrix to induce EPS production. Each culture was separated in two fractions: one that directly underwent AS extraction (containing AS from both biomass and EPS), and another that first had EPS extracted, followed then by AS determination (exclusively containing AS from EPS). We did not observe a general effect of the quartz matrix neither of microbial type on AS production. The quantified amounts of galactosamine and mannosamine in the EPS fraction represented on average 100% of the total amounts of these two AS quantified in cell cultures, revealing they are integral parts of the biofilm. In contrast, muramic acid and glucosamine were also quantified in the EPS, but with much lower contribution rates to total AS production, of 18% and 33%, respectively, indicating they are not necessarily part of EPS. Our results allow a meaningful ecological interpretation of mannosamine and galactosamine data in the future as indicators of microbial EPS, and also attract interest of future studies to investigate the role of EPS to SOC and its dynamics.

Abstract
Biophysical cohesive mud, consisting of clay minerals and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), plays significant role in determining sediments, nutrients and pollutants transport in estuarine and coastal systems. Series of laboratory jar experiments have been conducted aiming at filling the gap of knowledge regarding how biological cohesive EPS affects equilibrium flocculation of EPS-mineral mixtures. Four types of common clay (chlorite, kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) were chosen due to their abundance in estuarine mud and distinct crystal chemistry and structures. Turbulent shear throughout all the experimental runs were constantly provided at a mean shear parameter of G ≈ 15 s-1 being equivalent to high tidal influenced estuarine turbulent environment. The results reveal that adding EPS increases the equilibrium floc size evidently. The pure mineral flocs show unimodal equilibrium floc size distribution (eFSD) with single peak located at microfloc range (<200 μm) while the EPS-mineral flocs show bimodal eFSD with a secondary peak located in macroflocs range (>200 μm) mostly. Moreover, EPS largely reduces the effective density in EPS-mineral flocs by 1∼2 magnitude. Most importantly, the terminal settling velocity of flocs shows size-dominated in uniform mineral floc cases but density-dominated in EPS-mineral mixture floc cases especially in macroflocs. To model a full floc size or settling velocity distributions in natural environments, furtherly quantification of EPS functions within the large-sized non-fractal mixture floc individually becomes a necessity.

Abstract
C50 carotenoids, as unique bioactive molecules, have many biological properties, including antioxidant, anticancer, and antibacterial activity, and have a wide range of potential uses in the food, cosmetic, and biomedical industries. The majority of C50 carotenoids are produced by the sterile fermentation of halophilic archaea. This study aims to look at more cost-effective and manageable ways of producing C50 carotenoids. The basic medium, carbon source supplementation, and optimal culture conditions for Halorubrum sp. HRM-150 C50 carotenoids production by open fermentation were examined in this work. The results indicated that Halorubrum sp. HRM-150 grown in natural brine medium grew faster than artificial brine medium. The addition of glucose, sucrose, and lactose (10 g/L) enhanced both biomass and carotenoids productivity, with the highest level reaching 4.53 ± 0.32 μg/mL when glucose was added. According to the findings of orthogonal studies based on the OD600 and carotenoids productivity, the best conditions for open fermentation were salinity 20-25%, rotation speed 150-200 rpm, and pH 7.0-8.2. The up-scaled open fermentation was carried out in a 7 L medium under optimum culture conditions. At 96 h, the OD600 and carotenoids productivity were 9.86 ± 0.51 (dry weight 10.40 ± 1.27 g/L) and 7.31 ± 0.65 μg/mL (701.40 ± 21.51 μg/g dry weight, respectively). When amplified with both universal bacterial primer and archaeal primer in the open fermentation, Halorubrum remained the dominating species, indicating that contamination was kept within an acceptable level. To summarize, open fermentation of Halorubrum is a promising method for producing C50 carotenoids.

AepG is a glucuronosyltransferase involved in acidic exopolysaccharide synthesis and contributes to environmental adaptation of Haloarcula hispanica. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:102911.

Abstract
The attachment of a sugar to a hydrophobic lipid carrier is the first step in the biosynthesis of many glycoconjugates. In the halophilic archaeon Haloarcula hispanica, HAH_1206, renamed AepG, is a predicted glycosyltransferase belonging to the CAZy Group 2 family that shares a conserved amino acid sequence with dolichol phosphate mannose synthases. In this study, the function of AepG was investigated by genetic and biochemical approaches. We found that aepG deletion led to the disappearance of dolichol phosphate-glucuronic acid. Our biochemical assays revealed that recombinant cellulose-binding, domain-tagged AepG could catalyze the formation of dolichol phosphate-glucuronic acid in time- and dose-dependent manners. Based on the in vivo and in vitro analyses, AepG was confirmed to be a dolichol phosphate glucuronosyltransferase involved in the synthesis of the acidic exopolysaccharide produced by H. hispanica. Furthermore, lack of aepG resulted in hindered growth and cell aggregation in high salt medium, indicating that AepG is vital for the adaptation of H. hispanica to a high salt environment. In conclusion, AepG is the first dolichol phosphate glucuronosyltransferase identified in any of the three domains of life and, moreover, offers a starting point for further investigation into the diverse pathways used for extracellular polysaccharide biosynthesis in archaea.

Abstract
Bacterial polysaccharides are unique due to their higher purity, hydrophilic nature, and a finer three-dimensional fibrous structure. Primarily, these polymers provide protection, support, and energy to the microorganism, however, more recently several auxiliary properties of these biopolymers have been unmasked. Microbial polysaccharides have shown therapeutic abilities against various illnesses, augmented the healing abilities of the herbal and Western medicines, improved overall health of the host, and have exerted positive impact on the growth of gut dwelling beneficial bacteria. Specifically, the review is discussing the mechanism through which bacterial polysaccharides exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial properties. In addition, they are holding promising application in the 3D printing. The review is also discussing a perspective about the metagenome-based screening of polysaccharides, their integration with other cutting-edge tools, and synthetic microbiome base intervention of polysaccharides as a strategy for prebiotic intervention. This review has collected interesting information about the bacterial polysaccharides from Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Up to our knowledge, this is the first of its kind review article that is summarizing therapeutic, prebiotics, and commercial application of bacterial polysaccharides.

Abstract
AbstractMicrobial exopolysaccharides (EPS) provide a broad range of applications. Thus, there is an increasing interest in the production, characterization, and use of EPS derived from various microorganisms. Extremophile polysaccharides have unique properties and applications due to its unique structures. The importance of exopolysaccharides synthesized by a new bacterial strain, Alkalibacillus sp. w3, was highlighted in this study. Alkalibacillus sp. w3, a haloalkalitolerant firmicute that was recovered from a salt lake, was optimized for EPS production, and its biological activities were studied. Exopolysaccharide synthesis was observed in Horikoshi I broth medium. The optimal culture conditions for achieving the highest exopolysaccharide production were a 7-day incubation period, pH 10, and 250 g/L of NaCl. The most effective carbon and nitrogen sources for EPS production were glucose and a combination of yeast extract and peptone. Additionally, Plackett-statistical Burman’s design showed that all factors tested had a favorable impact, with glucose having the greatest significance on the production of EPS. The model’s best predictions for culture conditions resulted in a two-fold improvement in EPS production compared to the original yield before optimization. The recovered EPS contained 65.13% carbohydrates, 30.89% proteins, and 3.98% lipids. Moreover, EPS produced by Alkalibacillus sp. w3 demonstrated anticancer activity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and human colon carcinoma (HCT-116) cell lines, with IC50 values as low as 11.8 and 15.5 µg/mL, respectively, besides antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, and yeast. Based on these results, EPS made by Alkalibacillus sp. w3 has many useful properties, which make it suitable for use in the medical field.

Abstract
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) comprise mainly carbohydrates, proteins and extracellular DNA (eDNA) in biofilms formed by the thermoacidophilic Crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. However, detailed information on the carbohydrates in the S. acidocaldarius biofilm EPS, i.e., the exopolysaccharides (PS), in terms of identity, composition and size were missing. In this study, a set of methods was developed and applied to study the PS in S. acidocaldarius biofilms. It was initially shown that addition of sugars, most significantly of glucose, to the basal N-Z-amine-based growth medium enhanced biofilm formation. For the generation of sufficient amounts of biomass suitable for chemical analyses, biofilm growth was established and optimized on the surface of membrane filters. EPS were isolated and the contents of carbohydrates, proteins and eDNA were determined. PS purification was achieved by enzymatic digestion of other EPS components (nucleic acids and proteins). After trifluoroacetic acid-mediated hydrolysis of the PS fraction, the monosaccharide composition was analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). Main sugar constituents detected were mannose, glucose and ribose, as well as minor proportions of rhamnose, N-acetylglucosamine, glucosamine and galactosamine. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) revealed the presence of one single PS fraction with a molecular mass of 4-9 × 104 Da. This study provides detailed information on the PS composition and size of S. acidocaldarius MW001 biofilms and methodological tools for future studies on PS biosynthesis and secretion.

Abstract
Biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers (BS/BE) are naturally synthesized molecules, which can be used as alternatives to traditional detergents. These molecules are commonly produced by microorganisms isolated from hydrocarbon-rich environments. Gordonia alkanivorans strain 1B was originally found in such an environment, however little was known about its abilities as a BS/BE producer. The goal of this work was to access the potential of strain 1B as a BS/BE producer and perform the initial characterization of the produced compounds. It was demonstrated that strain 1B was able to synthesize lipoglycoprotein compounds with BS/BE properties, both extracellularly and adhered to the cells, without the need for a hydrophobic inducer, producing emulsion in several different hydrophobic phases. Using a crude BS/BE powder, the critical micelle concentration was determined (CMC = 16.94 mg/L), and its capacity to reduce the surface tension to a minimum of 35.63 mN/m was demonstrated, surpassing many commercial surfactants. Moreover, after dialysis, emulsification assays revealed an activity similar to that of Triton X-100 in almond and sunflower oils. In benzene, the E24 value attained was 83.45%, which is 30% greater than that of the commercial alternative. The results obtained highlight for the presence of promising novel BS/BE produced by strain 1B.

Since the potentialities of applications of low molecular weight poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) chains have been so far only partially explored, the separation of diverse molecular families of them, as well as their characterization for potential bioactivity and ability to form films, were investigated. Two different approaches based on organic solvent precipitation or on ultra- and nano-filtration membrane-based purification of inexpensive commercial material were employed to obtain size-specific γ-PGA fractions, further characterized by size exclusion chromatography equipped with a triple detector array and by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography to assess their average molecular weight and their concentration. The γ-PGA low molecular weight fractions, purified by ultra-filtration, have been shown both to counteract the desiccation and the oxidative stress of keratinocyte monolayers. In addition, they were exploited to prepare novel hydrocolloid films by both solvent casting and thermal compression, in the presence of different concentrations of glycerol used as plasticizer. These biomaterials were characterized for their hydrophilicity, thermal and mechanical properties. The hot compression led to the attainment of less resistant but more extensible films. However, in all cases, an increase in elongation at break as a function of the glycerol content was observed. Besides, the thermal analyses of hot compressed materials demonstrated that thermal stability was increased with higher γ-PGA distribution po-lymer fractions. The obtained biomaterials might be potentially useful for applications in cosmetics and as vehicle of active molecules in the pharmaceutical field.

Abstract
Every year, new organisms that survive and colonize adverse environments are discovered and isolated. Those organisms, called extremophiles, are distributed throughout the world, both in aquatic and terrestrial environments, such as sulfurous marsh waters, hydrothermal springs, deep waters, volcanos, terrestrial hot springs, marine saltern, salt lakes, among others. According to the ecosystem inhabiting, extremophiles are categorized as thermophiles, psychrophiles, halophiles, acidophiles, alkalophilic, piezophiles, saccharophiles, metallophiles and polyextremophiles. They have developed chemical adaptation strategies that allow them to maintain their cellular integrity, altering physiology or improving repair capabilities; one of them is the biosynthesis of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), which constitute a slime and hydrated matrix that keep the cells embedded, protecting from environmental stress (desiccation, salinity, temperature, radiation). EPS have gained interest; they are explored by their unique properties such as structural complexity, biodegradability, biological activities, and biocompatibility. Here, we present a review concerning the biosynthesis, characterization, and potential EPS applications produced by extremophile microorganisms, namely, thermophiles, halophiles, and psychrophiles. A bibliometric analysis was conducted, considering research articles published within the last two decades. Besides, an overview of the culture conditions used for extremophiles, the main properties and multiple potential applications of their EPS is also presented.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to exploit the haloarchaeon Haloferax alexandrinus GUSF-1 (KF796625) for the presence of biomolecules possessing antioxidant activity. The culture produced a bright orange pigment when grown aerobically in nutrient rich medium with 25% crude solar salt. Biomolecules from cell-free supernatant and from the cells of the culture were individually extracted through the assistance of solvents of different polarities, such as ethanol, methanol and hexane, and monitored for scavenging of stable free radicals. Each of the extracts showed varying capacities to scavenge DPPH•(20, 31, and 80% DPPH• RSA; 160.19, 248.29 and 640.76 AAE µg g-1 of cells) at 1 mg mL-1. The extracellular ethanolic extract was polysaccharide in nature, equivalent to 47 µg mL-1 of glucose when assayed with the phenol-sulfuric acid method. The Fourier Transform-Infra Red spectroscopy confirmed the characteristic glycosidic peaks between 2000 and 1000 cm-1. Similarly, the glycerol diether moiety separated from hydroxylated methanolysates through thin-layer chromatography scavenged free radicals (10.47% DPPH• RSA; 80.03 AAE µg g-1 of cells). Further, the hexanolic extract exhibited spectral characteristics of red carotenoids and resolved into distinct compounds when separated by thin-layer chromatography using different developing systems. All separated compounds were positive for the DPPH• reaction (13-30% DPPH• RSA; 100-240 AAE µg g-1). Chemical profiling of the hexanolic extract using the high resolution-liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy-diode array detector analysis confirmed the presence of different carbon length isoprenoids; C30: tetrahydrosqualene, C40: 3-hydroxyechinenone, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, lycopene, phytofluene, phytoene and C50: bisanhydrobacterioruberin, monoanhydrobacterioruberin, bacterioruberin and haloxanthin. Thus, we conclude that the synergistic actions of all these components contribute to the antioxidant activity of the culture and that the antioxidant activity of the exopolysaccharide, glycerol dither moiety, tetrahydrosqualene, haloxanthin and 3-hydroxyechinenone is recorded as the first report for Haloferax alexandrinus GUSF-1 (KF796625). Therefore, recommended for use in microbial industrial biotechnology. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-020-02584-9.

Abstract
Archaea are a domain of prokaryotic organisms with intriguing physiological characteristics and ecological importance. In Microbial Biotechnology, archaea are historically overshadowed by bacteria and eukaryotes in terms of public awareness, industrial application, and scientific studies, although their biochemical and physiological properties show a vast potential for a wide range of biotechnological applications. Today, the majority of microbial cell factories utilized for the production of value-added and high value compounds on an industrial scale are bacterial, fungal or algae based. Nevertheless, archaea are becoming ever more relevant for biotechnology as their cultivation and genetic systems improve. Some of the main advantages of archaeal cell factories are the ability to cultivate many of these often extremophilic organisms under non-sterile conditions, and to utilize inexpensive feedstocks often toxic to other microorganisms, thus drastically reducing cultivation costs. Currently, the only commercially available products of archaeal cell factories are bacterioruberin, squalene, bacteriorhodopsin and diether-/tetraether-lipids, all of which are produced utilizing halophiles. Other archaeal products, such as carotenoids and biohydrogen, as well as polyhydroxyalkanoates and methane are in early to advanced development stages, respectively. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current state of Archaea Biotechnology by describing the actual state of research and development as well as the industrial utilization of archaeal cell factories, their role and their potential in the future of sustainable bioprocessing, and to illustrate their physiological and biotechnological potential.

Abstract
The production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) by haloarchaeal members, with novel and unusual physicochemical properties, is of special importance and has the potential for extensive biotechnological exploitation. An extremely halophilic archaeon, Haloferax sp. BKW301 (GenBank Accession No. KT240044) isolated from a solar saltern of Baksal, West Bengal, India has been optimized for the production of EPS under batch culture. It produced a considerable amount (5.95 g/L) of EPS in the medium for halophiles with 15% NaCl, 3% glucose, 0.5% yeast extract, and 6% inoculum under shake flask culture at 120 rpm. The purified EPS, a homopolymer of galactose as revealed by chromatographic methods and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, is noncrystalline (CIxrd , 0.82), amorphous, and could emulsify hydrocarbons like kerosene, petrol, xylene, and so forth. Moreover, the polymer is highly thermostable (up to 420°C) and displayed pseudoplastic rheology. Biologically, the EPS was able to scavenge DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical efficiently and inhibit the proliferation of the Huh-7 cell line at an IC50 value of 6.25 µg/ml with a Hill coefficient of 0.844. Large-scale production of this thermostable, pseudoplastic homopolysaccharide, therefore, could find suitable applications in industry and biotechnology.

Abstract
A novel Bacillus licheniformis strain (DM-1) was isolated from a mature reservoir in Dagang oilfield of China. DM-1 showed unique properties to utilize petroleum hydrocarbons and agroindustrial by-product (molasses) for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production under oil recovery conditions. The DM-1 EPS was proven to be a proteoglycan with a molecular weight of 568 kDa. The EPS showed shear thinning properties and had high viscosities at dilute concentrations (<1%, w/v), high salinities, and elevated temperatures. Strain DM-1 could degrade long-chain n-alkanes up to C36. Viscosity reduction test have shown that the viscosity of the crude oil was reduced by 40% compared with that before DM-1 treatment. Sand pack flooding test results under simulated reservoir conditions have shown that the enhanced oil recovery efficiency was 19.2% after 7 days of in-situ bioaugmentation with B. licheniformis DM-1. The obtained results indicate that strain DM-1 is a promising candidate for in situ microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR).

Abstract
Pseudomonas sp. BGI-2 is a psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from the ice sample collected from Batura glacier, Pakistan. This strain produces highly viscous colonies on agar media supplemented with glucose. In this study, we have optimized growth and production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by the cold-adapted Pseudomonas sp. BGI-2 using different nutritional and environmental conditions. Pseudomonas sp. BGI-2 is able to grow in a wide range of temperatures (4-35°C), pH (5-11), and salt concentrations (1-5%). Carbon utilization for growth and EPS production was extensively studied and we found that glucose, galactose, mannose, mannitol, and glycerol are the preferable carbon sources. The strain is also able to use sugar waste molasses as a growth substrate, an alternative for the relatively expensive sugars for large scale EPS production. Maximum EPS production was observed at 15°C, pH 6, NaCl (10 g L-1), glucose as carbon source (100 g L-1), yeast extract as nitrogen source (10 g L-1), and glucose/yeast extract ratio (10/1). Under optimized conditions, EPS production was 2.01 g L-1, which is relatively high for a Pseudomonas species compared to previous studies using the same method for quantification. High-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) analysis of EPS revealed glucose, galactose, and glucosamine as the main sugar monomers. Membrane protection assay using human RBCs revealed significant reduction in cell lysis (∼50%) in the presence of EPS, suggesting its role in membrane protection. The EPS (5%) also conferred significant cryoprotection for a mesophilic Escherichia coli k12 which was comparable to glycerol (20%). Also, improvement in lipid peroxidation inhibition (in vitro) resulted when lipids from the E. coli was pretreated with EPS. Increased EPS production at low temperatures, freeze thaw tolerance of the EPS producing strain, and increased survivability of E. coli in the presence of EPS as cryoprotective agent supports the hypothesis that EPS production is a strategy for survival in extremely cold environments such as the glacier ice.

Abstract
Marine-derived antioxidant polysaccharides have aroused extensive attention because of their potential nutritional and therapeutic benefits. However, the comprehensive comparison of identified marine-derived antioxidant polysaccharides is still inaccessible, which would facilitate the discovery of more efficient antioxidants from marine organisms. Thus, this review summarizes the sources, chemical composition, structural characteristics, and antioxidant capacity of marine antioxidant polysaccharides, as well as their protective in vivo effects mediated by antioxidative stress reported in the last few years (2013-2019), and especially highlights the dominant role of marine algae as antioxidant polysaccharide source. In addition, the relationships between the chemical composition and structural characteristics of marine antioxidant polysaccharides with their antioxidant capacity were also discussed. The antioxidant activity was found to be determined by multiple factors, including molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, sulfate position and its degree.

Abstract
In the present study, we aimed to extract, purify, analyze monosaccharide composition of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Halorubrum sp. TBZ112 (KCTC 4203 and IBRC-M 10773) and also to evaluate its possible antiproliferative activity against human gastric cancer (MKN-45) cell line and its biocompatibility effect on normal cells using human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cell line. Average molecular weight and monosaccharide composition were determined by high-pressure size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) with multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS) and high-pressure anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), respectively. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used for the partial characterization of the EPS. The EPS effect on the cell proliferation and viability of MKN-45 and HDF cells was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and trypan blue dye exclusion, respectively. Strain TBZ112 excreted 480 mg.l-1 of the EPS under optimal growth conditions. The EPS had a molecular weight of 5.052 kDa and was a heteropolysaccharide containing ten moieties mainly composed of mannose (19.95%), glucosamine (15.55%), galacturonic acid (15.43%), arabinose (12.24%), and glucuronic acid (12.05%). No significant difference of the EPS treatments on the proliferation activity of MKN-45 and HDF cells were observed (P > 0.05). For the first time, the EPS from Halorubrum sp. TBZ112, an extremely halophilic archaeon related to Halorubrum genus, was isolated and chemically characterized. The EPS from Halorubrum sp. TBZ112 possesses a relatively low molecular weight and might be applied as a biocompatible compound. More investigations are needed to determine other biological activities of the EPS along with further details of its chemical structure.

Abstract
A 1.1 × 106 Da acidic exopolysaccharide (EPS) was purified from an extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula hispanica ATCC33960 with a production of 30 mg L-1 when grown in AS-168 medium, which mainly composed of mannose and galactose with a small amount of glucose in a molar ratio of 55.9 : 43.2 : 0.9. Two glycosyltransferase genes (HAH_1662 and HAH_1667) were identified to be responsible for synthesis of the acidic EPS. Deletion of either HAH_1662 or HAH_1667 led to loss of the acidic EPS. The mutants displayed a different cell surface morphology, retarded growth in low salty environment, an increased adhesion, and swimming ability. Our results suggest that biosynthesis of the acidic EPS might act as an adaptable mechanism to protect the cells against harsh environments.

A multi-analytical approach to better assess the keratan sulfate contamination in animal origin chondroitin sulfate. Anal Chim Acta 2016; 958:59-70. [PMID: 28110685 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2016.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2016] [Revised: 11/22/2016] [Accepted: 12/03/2016] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan widely used as active principle of anti-osteoarthritis drugs and nutraceuticals, manufactured by extraction from animal cartilaginous tissues. During the manufacturing procedures, another glycosaminoglycan, the keratan sulfate, might be contemporarily withdrawn, thus eventually constituting a contaminant difficult to be determined because of its structural similarity. Considering the strict regulatory rules on the pureness of pharmaceutical grade chondrotin sulfate there is an urgent need and interest to determine the residual keratan sulfate with specific, sensitive and reliable methods. To pursue this aim, in this paper, for the first time, we set up a multi-analytical and preparative approach based on: i) a newly developed method by high performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, ii) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses, iii) size exclusion chromatography analyses coupled with triple detector array module and on iv) strong anion exchange chromatography separation. Varied KS percentages, in the range from 0.1 to 19.0% (w/w), were determined in seven pharmacopeia and commercial standards and nine commercial samples of different animal origin and manufacturers. Strong anion exchange chromatography profiles of the samples showed three or four different peaks. These peaks analyzed by high performance anion-exchange with pulsed amperometric detection and size exclusion chromatography with triple detector array, ion chromatography and by mono- or two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance revealed a heterogeneous composition of both glycosaminoglycans in terms of sulfation grade and molecular weight. High molecular weight species (>100 KDa) were also present in the samples that counted for chains still partially linked to a proteoglycan core.
