Abstract:Fermented foods containing probiotic Leuconostoc mesenteroides 201607 (LM) were used to extract exopolysaccharides. An incomplete understanding exists regarding the immunomodulatory characteristics of exopolysaccharides (EPSs), which are important constituents of bacterial biofilms. In this instance, we examined the immunomodulatory capacity of EPSs from fermented food extracted from L. mesenteroides 201607. Partially purified exopolysaccharide from L. mesenteroides 201607 (PP-LMEPS) consists of glucose (57.1%… Show more
