Dextrans produced by Leuconostoc isolates from sugarcane factories: Potential impact on viscosity during sugarcane processing.
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) from factory-derived Leuconostoc isolates were evaluated to determine impacts on sugarcane processing and to explore EPS production by these strains. Two isolates, L. suionicum LASM7 and L. lactis LASM16, exhibited elevated culture viscosity from increased EPS production. Samples were classifie...
