Isolation and characterization of high exopolysaccharide-producing Weissella confusa VP30 from young children’s feces

Table 1 Overall ranking of isolated strains based on EPS production in mMRS with 10% sucrose (w/v)

No.	16s rRNA	Strain	EPS produced, mean ± SD (g/l)	Host gender	Host age
1	Weissella confusa	VP30	59.99 ± 0.91^A	Male	5
2	Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum	JH628	0.29 ± 0.06^B	Male	1
3	Lactobacillus plantarum	JH43A	0.28 ± 0.02^B	Female	4
4	Lactobacillus plantarum	JH102	0.26 ± 0.07^B	Male	3
5	Lactobacillus fermentum	JH43B	0.25 ± 0.11^B	Female	4
6	Lactobacillus paracasei	JH907	0.23 ± 0.02^B	Female	3
7	Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum	JH917	0.21 ± 0.04^B	Male	1
8	Lactobacillus plantarum	JH639	0.21 ± 0.01^B	Female	4
9	Lactobacillus rhamnosus	JH914	0.19 ± 0.04^B	Male	1
10	Lactobacillus paracasei	JH124	0.12 ± 0.04^C	Female	4

All microorganisms were anaerobically cultured in glucose-free basal MRS supplemented with 10% (w/v) sucrose at 37 °C for 24 h. One-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s post hoc test statistical analyses were performed. EPS produced (g l⁻¹) ± SE with different letters (where A > B > C) are significantly different at p < 0.05 (n = 3)
