Scleroglucan Production by Microbes and Downstream Processing

Nidhi Aggarwal

Abstract

Polymer based synthetic petroleum and plant natural polysaccharides do have the drawback of limited sources, as well as the latter's non-biodegradability. Eco-friendly, low-cost, and standardised microbial polysaccharides, on the other hand, offer a viable solution to this problem. They drew international recognition due to their original and distinctive physical and chemical propertiesas well as a diverse spectrum of industrial applications, the majority of which are rapidly becoming economically competitive. Scleroglucan, a 1, 3-beta-1, 6-glucan secreted by Sclerotium fungus, has a great economic potential and can have a variety of branching frequencies, side-chain lengths, and molecular weights dependent on the generating strains and cultivation circumstances. Scleroglucan's viscosifying ability, water solubility, and pH, wide temperature, and salt concentrations stabilisation make it viable for just a variety of bioengineering ( food additives, improve oil recovery, cosmetic, drug delivery biocompatible materials, and pharmaceutical products, and so on) and biomedical, immunotherapy, antitumor, and so on application areas. It could be generated in large quantities at a bioreactor scale under standardised circumstances, with a high exopolysaccharide proportion governing performance improvement.
