Résumé
Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are water-soluble polymers consisting of repeating sugar moieties that serve a wide range of functions for the bacterial species that produce them. Their functions include biofilm matrix constituent, nutrient retention, protection from environmental threats and even pathogenicity. EPS have also been exploited for use in various applications in the biomedical field: most notably as viscosupplements, drug delivery vehicles and in tissue engineering constructs. The use of EPS in bone tissue engineering has increased in recent years due to the wide range of compounds available, low cost, and ease of production on an industrial scale. This review discusses the extraction and purification methods employed to produce bacterial EPS. A particular focus is on bone-related tissue engineering applications where EPS is the primary active agent, or as a scaffold matrix, as well as a carrier for osteopromotive agents.
