Exopolysaccharide (EPS) prodcution is a general mechanism employed by bacteria to thrive under stressful conditions. We report an increase in the production of EPS by Lelliottia amnigena strain LABEM through CuSO4 exposure along with the use of low-cost carbon sources, namely sucrose (SUC) and crude glycerin (CG). The production of EPS was analyzed in relation to yield, and characterized by Fourier transform in...
