Meta-Analysis of Abiotic Conditions Affecting Exopolysaccharide Production in Cyanobacteria.

ABSTRACT: Background: cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) exhibit diverse biological and physicochemical properties, making them valuable for applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, wastewater treatment, and bioenergy production. Results: the production of cyanobacterial EPSs is significantly influenced by various factors, including abiotic factors and strains. Recent research has focused on optimizing EPS production by regulating key abiotic factors such as light, temperature, pH, and nutritional conditions. This review systematically compiles and analyzes published data on the effects of abiotic factors on cyanobacterial EPS biosynthesis, with a focus on genus-specific responses. Using meta-analysis techniques, we provide a comprehensive overview of the key
