Bioprospecting for industrially relevant exopolysaccharide-producing cyanobacte...
Cruz, José Diogo; Delattre, Cédric; Felpeto, Aldo Barreiro; Pereira, Hugo; Pierre, Guillaume; Morais, João; Petit, Emmanuel; Silva, JoanaCyanobacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are potential candidates for the production of sustainable biopolymers. Although the bioactive and physicochemical properties of cyanobacterial-based EPS are attractive, their commercial exploitation is limited by the high production costs. Bioprospecting and characterizing novel EPS-producing strains for industrially relevant conditions is key to facilitate their impleme...
Recent Advances in Environmental Science from the Euro-Mediterranean and Surrou...
Ksibi, Mohamed; Ghorbal, Achraf; Chakraborty, Sudip; Chaminé, Helder I.; Barbieri, Maurizio; Guerriero, Giulia; Hentati, Olfa; Negm, AbdelazimThis book includes over three hundred and seventy-five short papers presented during the second EMCEI, which was held in Sousse, Tunisia in October 2019. After the success of the first EMCEI in 2017, the second installment tackled emerging environmental issues together with new challenges, e.g. by focusing on innovative approaches that contribute to achieving a sustainable environment in the Mediterranean and s...
Bioactive carbohydrate polymers: Between myth and reality
Drira, Maroua; Hentati, Faiez; Babich, Olga; Sukhikh, Stanislas; Larina, Viktoria; Sharifian, Sana; Homai, Ahmad; Fendri, Imen; Lemos, Marco F.L.Polysaccharides are complex macromolecules long regarded as energetic storage resources or as components of plant and fungal cell walls. They have also been described as plant mucilages or microbial exopolysaccharides. The development of glycosciences has led to a partial and difficult deciphering of their other biological functions in living organisms. The objectives of glycobiochemistry and glycobiology are c...
