Dextran is an exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or their
enzymes in the presence of sucrose. Dextran is composed of a linear chain of d-glucoses …

Recent efforts on the expansion of sustainable and commercial primal matters are essential
to enhance the knowledge of their hazards and noxiousness to humans and their …

Thermoresponsive gelling materials constructed from natural and synthetic polymers can be
used to provide triggered action and therefore customised products such as drug delivery …

The intrinsic viscosity measurements used to calculate the Mark-Houwink (MH) parameters
are generally performed for different molecular weights at a constant temperature, with the …

The layer-by-layer technique (LbL) using polysaccharides is receiving increasing interest as
the preparation of nano-and micro-multilayer objects composed by natural materials is a …

With structural diversity of water-soluble polysaccharides, their precise quantitative analysis
by phenol‑sulfuric acid method becomes more difficult and challenging. In this study, the …

Despite a vast amount of different methods, protocols and cryoprotective agents (CPA), stem
cells are often frozen using standard protocols that have been optimized for use with cell …

The cellular environment is crowded by macromolecules of various sizes, shapes, and
charges, which modulate protein structure, function and dynamics. Herein, we contemplated …

To gain insight into the fundamental processes determining the motion of macromolecules in
polymeric matrices, the dynamical hindrance of polymeric dextran molecules diffusing as …

Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Weissella contribute to spontaneous fermentation in, eg,
sourdough or sauerkraut, but are not registered as starter cultures because of their pending …
