Pseudoalteromonas exopolysaccharides are carbohydrate polymers obtained from the fermentation of microorganisms produced by Pseudoalteromonas, a genus of marine bacteria belonging to the genus Agricola. These microorganisms play an important role in reducing environmental damage in the aquatic world. Pseudoalteromonas secretions maintain the stability of ecosystems by forming biofilms, protective barriers and improving the adhesion of microorganisms. They are composed of hexosamines, neutral sugars and uronic acids. They resist high temperatures and have a pH of 7. They are obtained by centrifugation, drying and are dissolved in distilled water.
