Abstract

Purpose Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are very important because they are used in biotechnological applications in different industrial areas. The aim of the study was to determine the best EPS producer Pleurotus sp., to optimize EPS production and to perform partial purification and characterization of the produced EPS.
