Cold induced expression of a novel levansucrase gene sacB1 enhances exopolysaccharide production and stress resilience in Leuconostoc mesenteroides

Abstract Exopolysaccharides (EPS) play critical roles in microbial survival, stress adaptation, and biofilm formation across diverse environments. In food-associated bacteria such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, understanding the regulation of EPS production under environmental stress is important for...
