Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dextran is a commercially available bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS) with several industrial applications in the food industry and in the biomedical industry as an adjuvant, emulsifier, carrier, and stabilizer. The production of dextran at the industrial level occurs through the fermentation of a sucrose-rich medium. Research to optimize dextran production has found that the yield of dextran varies depending the specific conditions for production. The aim of this study was to produce dextran and establish the optimal conditions for dextran biosynthesis from different species isolated from healthy vaginal and infant stool samples.
