In this study, we firstly reported the production and the structural characterization of a novel hetero-exopolysaccharide namely EPS-K2 from the extremely halophilc Halomonas smyrnensis K2. Results revealed that EPS-K2 was mainly composed of three monosaccharides including mannose (66.69%), glucose (19.54%) and galactose (13.77%). EPS-K2 showed high thermostability with a degradation temperature around 260 °C, which could make it a suitable candidate for application in thermal processes. Moreover, EPS-K2 showed attractive functional properties. In fact, it exhibited potent antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner as assessed in analyses of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, iron chelating and DNA protection ability. Furthermore, EPS-K2 showed strong adhesion inhibition activity against Enterococcus faecalis (75.52 ± 3.35%) and Escherichia coli (61.95 ± 2.48%) at 1 g/l concentration, as well as a high biofilm disruption activity especially against E. coli (70.73 ± 2.78%), at 2 g/l concentration. According to its biotechnological properties, EPS-K2 could be exploited as functional ingredient in food, biomedicine, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract

In this study, we firstly reported the production and the structural characterization of a novel hetero-exopolysaccharide namely EPS-K2 from the extremely halophilc Halomonas smyrnensis K2. Results revealed that EPS-K2 was mainly composed of three monosaccharides including mannose (66.69%), glucose (19.54%) and galactose (13.77%). EPS-K2 showed high thermostability with a degradation temperature around 260 °C, which could make it a suitable candidate for application in thermal processes. Moreover, EPS-K2 showed attractive functional properties. In fact, it exhibited potent antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner as assessed in analyses of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, iron chelating and DNA protection ability. Furthermore, EPS-K2 showed strong adhesion inhibition activity against Enterococcus faecalis (75.52 ± 3.35%) and Escherichia coli (61.95 ± 2.48%) at 1 g/l concentration, as well as a high biofilm disruption activity especially against E. coli (70.73 ± 2.78%), at 2 g/l concentration. According to its biotechnological properties, EPS-K2 could be exploited as functional ingredient in food, biomedicine, and pharmaceutical industries.
