Acidobacteria have been described as one of the most abundant and ubiquitous bacterial phyla in soil. However, factors contributing to this ecological success are not well elucidated mainly due to difficulties in bacterial isolation.

Here we present the first study to characterize EPSs derived from two strains of Acidobact ...[more]
