Abstract
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature. Based on their use they have been classified into beneficial, saprophytes and pathogens. Some of the beneficial bacteria are used in fermentation of foods. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are one of the beneficial bacteria used to prepare fennented milk products like dahi, yoghurt and cheeses. Many species of LAB produce Exopolysaccharides (EPS).
