Biologically induced spontaneous alginate gelation mediated by extracellular products of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

Biological regulation of polysaccharide assembly represents an emerging concept in biofabrication. However, spontaneous gelation of natural polymers driven by bacterial extracellular metabolism remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to characterize a previously unrecognized alginate gelation phenomenon indu...
