Abstract Xanthan is a natural polymer often obtained through fermentative processes using Xanthomonas, which remarkable properties - including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity – fit a myriad of industrial applications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different alternative fermentable substrates derived from agro-industrial waste (cheese whey and passion fruit peel), the production and rheological properties of the gum. The fermented substrate composition had a strong impact on production (8.15–14.81 g∙L-1) and apparent viscosity (31.9–510 mPa.s). The maximum xanthan gum production was observed after 72 h using cheese whey and passion fruit peel acid hydrolysate supplemented with K2HPO4 (AH:W – Phosphate). However, the maximum viscosity was found for medium without supplementation (AH:W), twice the value of the samples supplemented with phosphate. All solutions were highly pseudoplastic. This study provides a cost-effective solution for the reusing of cheese whey and passion fruit peel and possible low-cost approach for xanthan production. .

ABSTRACT Many phytopathogenic bacteria, such as Ralstonia solanacearum, Pantoea stewartii, and Xanthomonas campestris, produce exopolysaccharides (EPSs) that aid in virulence, colonization, and survival. EPS can also contribute to host xylem vessel blockage. The genome of Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine, contains an operon that is strikingly similar to the X. campestris gum operon, which is responsible for the production of xanthan gum. Based on this information, it has been hypothesized that X. fastidiosa is capable of producing an EPS similar in structure and composition to xanthan gum but lacking the terminal mannose residue. In this study, we raised polyclonal antibodies against a modified xanthan gum polymer similar to the predicted X. fastidiosa EPS polymer. We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantify production of EPS from X. fastidiosa cells grown in vitro and immunolocalization microscopy to examine the distribution of X. fastidiosa EPS in biofilms formed in vitro and in planta and assessed the contribution of X. fastidiosa EPS to the vascular occlusions seen in PD-infected grapevines.
