EPS monomer composition: (A) HPAE-PAD analysis of the monosaccharide composition of EPS produced by H. japonica SST1 revealed the presence of galactose (RT: 12.97 min), glucose (RT: 14.03 min), and mannose (RT: 15.7 min). Man, mannose; Gal, galactose; Glc, glucose. (B) GC–MS analysis of the corresponding methyl glycoside acetates.
