Bacterial exopolysaccharide based nanoparticles for sustained drug delivery, cancer chemotherapy and bioimaging

► We made extremophilic bacterial polysaccharide based nanoparticles for first time. ► Developed for drug delivery, cancer therapy and bioimaging. ► Using mauran extracted from Halomonas maura. ► Introduced mauran as a novel, stable and versatile biomaterial to nanotechnology. ► Biocompatible bacterial polysaccharide nanoparticles for sustained drug delivery.
