Biocompatible nanofibers based on extremophilic bacterial polysaccharide, Mauran from Halomonas maura

► Extremophilic bacterial polysaccharide based nanofibers were made for first time. ► Developed for tissue engineering applications. ► Using mauran extracted from Halomonas maura and PVA. ► Introduced mauran as a novel, stable and versatile biomaterial to nanotechnology. ► Mauran showed biocompatibility against mesenchymal stem cells and connective tissue.
