Most marine bacteria can produce exopolysaccharides (EPS). However, very few structures of EPS produced by marine bacteria have been determined. The characterization of EPS structure is important for the elucidation of their biological functions and ecological roles. In this study, the structure of EPS produced by a marine bacterium, Alteromonas sp. JL2810, was characterized, and the biosorption of the EPS for heavy metals Cu2+, Ni2+, and Cr6+ was also investigated. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis indicated that the JL2810 EPS have a novel structure consisting of the repeating unit of [-3)-α-Rhap-(1→3)-α-Manp-(1→4)-α-3OAc-GalAp-(1→]. The biosorption of the EPS for heavy metals was affected by a medium pH; the maximum biosorption capacities for Cu2+ and Ni2+ were 140.8 ± 8.2 mg/g and 226.3 ± 3.3 mg/g at pH 5.0; however, for Cr6+ it was 215.2 ± 5.1 mg/g at pH 5.5. Infrared spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the groups of O-H, C=O, and C-O-C were the main function groups for the adsorption of JL2810 EPS with the heavy metals. The adsorption equilibrium of JL2810 EPS for Ni2+ was further analyzed, and the equilibrium data could be better represented by the Langmuir isotherm model. The novel EPS could be potentially used in industrial applications as a novel bio-resource for the removal of heavy metals.

Paenibacillus polymyxa 92, isolated from wheat roots, produced large amounts (38.4 g L-1) of exopolysaccharide (EPS) in a liquid nutrient medium containing 10 % (w/v) sucrose. The EPS was precipitated from the culture broth with cold acetone and was purified by gel filtration and anion-exchange chromatography. The molecular mass of the EPS was 2.29-1.10 × 105 Da. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra showed that the EPS was a linear β-(2→6)-linked fructan (levan). Aqueous EPS solutions showed pseudoplastic behavior when shear stress was applied at different temperatures. By using the Ostwald-de Waele model, the rheological characteristics of the EPS solution were ascertained. The sorption capacity of the EPS for Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) was investigated. Sorption was maximal (q = 481 mg g-1) for Cu(II) ions. In model experiments, treatment of wheat seeds with EPS solution significantly increased the length of seedling roots and shoots.

In this work, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium culmorum cell wall by-products were chosen as microbial sources for chitin and chitosan production. Both polysaccharides were characterized by FTIR and 13C-CPMAS NMR, but GPC analysis was only performed for chitosan. SEM-EDX analysis was performed to fungal chitosan loaded with metal ions. Chitosan extracted from both fungus had low to medium molecular weight (Mw) and degree of deacetylations (DD) ranging from 65.7-83.3%. Fungal chitosan samples were intended to be used for bioremediation applications. For this purpose, two independent absorption experiments regarding pesticide Dimethoate (DM) and heavy metal ions (Al(III), As(III), Cd(II), Cu(II), Mg(II), Mn(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), Fe(II)) in a complex mixture were carried out. An experimental design considering the solution pH, contact time and chitosan physicochemical properties (DD) were performed. The highest percentage of dimethoate pesticide and selected metal ions absorption was obtained with highest DD chitosan, the contact time of 24 h, pH 6 for metals and pH 4 for pesticide, repectively. Molecular dynamics simulation studies allowed to analyze at the molecular level the chitosan-DM interaction. A higher number of h-bonds were identified as the main interactions that stabilize the affinity of the chitosan-DM complexes. Based on our results, we suggest the use of a multipurpose fungal chitosan system for water bioremediation.
