The topics comprise principally a) their extraction, isolation, purification and advanced production processes; b) characterization of their structural, physicochemical, and biological properties, among others, by several techniques; c) description of the advanced functionalization and modification methods for the polysaccharide based-material; and d) their applications and uses in medical and pharmaceutical fields. Each chapter is written by world-renowned academics and practitioners on their field. This is an essential reference for students in biomedical, chemical, material, and microbiology engineering as well as researchers and professionals in the medical field. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aMedical Microbiology 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aBiotechnology 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 14$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 676 $a616.9041 702 $aRadhouani$b Hajer 702 $aReis$b Rui L. 702 $aOliveira$b Joaquim Miguel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910551826803321 996 $aPolysaccharides of Microbial Origin$92848710 997 $aUNINA
