Abstract

This study was aimed to produce and purify the Exo-polysaccharides from the lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 2621 culture by using ethanol precipitation method by submerged fermentation. The culture showed the higher EPS and biomass yield by using suitable conditions. Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 2621 showed EPS yield 3.3 g/l by glucose, 3.4g/l by organic nitrogen source, 3.1g/l by inorganic nitrogen source, 2.2g/l by 48 hours incubation time and 2.7g/l by using pH 7. The maximum EPS yield was optimized for the media components using response surface methodology. Analytical evaluation by phenol- sulphuric method revealed the presence of total sugar contents.
