Abstract excerpt
Genetic and biochemical analysis of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in lactic acid bacteria has been a growing field of interest in the food industry. We previously identified and characterized a gene cluster composed of 13 genes (epsA to epsM) responsible for EPS production in Streptococcus t...
