Surface Characteristics
The EPS is composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and pyruvate in a 1:2:2:4 molar ratio. Molecular weight analysis by gel filtration demonstrates that the EPS is polydispersive and composed of a major high-molecularweight species and lesser amounts of smaller molecularweight species.
