  abstract = {{B}acterial cell surface exopolysaccharides ({EPS}) provide a protective barrier from the external milieu and participate in host-environment interactions. {Z}ymomonas mobilis, an ethanologenic {G}ram negative bacterium, is used by the industry in bio-ethanol production process, due to its extraordinary resistance to a highly ethanolic environment. {W}e found that {Z}. mobilis produces a mixture of two {EPS}s, an [alpha - (1 -> 6)-{D}-{M}anp] mannose homopolymer and a galactose containing polysaccharide: [-> 2)-beta-{D}-{G}alf-(1 -> 3)-beta-{D}-{G}alp-(1 ->](n). {A} physicochemical study, conducted with diffusion-ordered spectroscopy ({DOSY}) and {D}ynamic {L}ight {S}cattering ({DLS}), allowed to demonstrate that, differently from the majority of polysaccharides, ethanol is a good solvent for the galactose containing {EPS}, revealing that its chemical structure is specifically connected with the {Z}ymomonas mobilis high ethanol tolerance.},
