Abstract

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are the polymeric substance obtained from diverse species of the genera Pseudomonas for a variety of purposes. Recently, large focus have been given on isolation and characterization of EPS from diverse microorganisms employing various strategies, but very less attention have been given on the theme of harnessing EPS from the master microbe Pseudomonas and exploiting its multifaceted roles. Hence, the main essence of this review article is to emphasize protocols opted for EPS production, extraction and optimization, detailing its architecture, composition, mechanisms and genetic regulation. In the process it will also discuss various approaches used nowadays for novel usage of EPS bioformulations derived from Pseudomonas for plant growth promotion, stress amelioration, bioremediation and disease management in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner.
