Exopolysaccharides (EPS) obtained from the culture medium of Lactobacillus confusus TISTR 1498 were investigated to determine their molecular characteristics and the effect of molecular weight (M w ) on immunomodulatory activity. The EPS mainly consisted of carbohydrates (81.9±2.4%) with only one ty...
