Schematic illustration showing how carbon source selection influences the structure and biological properties of exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Bacillus velezensis AZU-A3. Sucrose-derived EPS (EPS-S) exhibited a mannose- and uronic acid-rich composition with a more ordered helical-like conformation, whereas sugarcane molasses-derived EPS (EPS-M) showed a glucose-rich composition with a more flexible molecular structure. These substrate-dependent structural…
