Exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB 2483 (2483) was examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. These microscopy techniques were used to probe the location and distribution of EPS in milk...
