摘要
This review article deals with the chemistry and biosynthesis of poly-(gamma -glutamic acid) (gamma -PGA) produced by various strains of Bacillus. Potential applications of gamma -PGA as thickener, cryoprotectant, humectant, drug carrier, biological adhesive, flocculant, or heavy metal absorbent, etc. with biodegradability in the fields of food, cosmetics, medicine and water treatments are also reviewed.
