Microbial Exopolysaccharides by Bacillus Subtilis as Pharmaceuticals

Abstract

The aim of the present work was to grow and produce exopolysaccharides by Bacillus subtilis and study the applications of exopolysaccharides in pharmaceuticals. The promising outcomes can be seemed as preliminary steps toward the utilization and modification of exopolysaccharides as destiny reasonably-priced resources for production of valuable tablets with antioxidant and anticancer. Microbial exopolysaccharides are extraordinary polymers which can be produced via residing organisms and guard them towards environmental elements. These polymers are industrially recovered from the medium subculture after appearing a fermentative method. Those materials are biocompatible and biodegradable, owning precise and beneficial for biomedical drug delivery structures and they can have a self-assembling phenomenon. We produced and studied the capability use of exopolysaccharides as carriers for drug transport systems, masking their versatility and their substantial opportunities to supply particles, fibers, scaffolds, hydrogels, and aerogels with distinctive strategies and methodologies. Furthermore, the principle of exopolysaccharides are explained, offering information to attain a carrier selection depending on the final application.
