Notes:
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was compared among three strains of lactobacilli. Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain 9595M can be classified among the highest EPS-producing strains of lactic acid bacteria reported to date with a maximum EPS production of 1275 mg L−1. Under controlled pH, no significant differences in the quantity of EPS produced could be detected between carbon source (glucose or lactose) or fermentation temperature (32 or 37°C). In milk, strains ATCC 9595M and R produced more than 280 mg L−1 EPS whereas strain Type V produced less than 80 mg L−1 EPS. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 24, 251–255.
