PRODUCTION OF NON-NATIVE BACTERIAL EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE IN A RECOMBINANT BACTERIAL HOST

摘要

A recombinant bacteria for the production of exopolysaccharides is disclosed as well as a method for making the recombinant bacteria and making an exopolysaccharide from the bacteria by submerged aerobic fermentation of the bacteria utilizing a sugar substrate. In addition, the present invention provides a method of producing bacterial exopolysaccharides by fermentation from sugar substrates that the wild- type bacteria for producing the exopolysaccharide cannot utilize.
