Gellan Gum for Tissue Engineering Applications: A Mini Review

Gellan gum (GG) is a polysaccharide produced by microbial fermentation of the Sphingomonas paucimobilis microorganism. GG is a linear anionic polysaccharide composed of tetrasaccharide (1,3-b-D-glucose, 1,4-b-Dglucuronic acid, 1,4-b-D-glucose, 1,4-a-Lrhamnose) repeating units, containing one carboxyl side group, and was initially described by Moorhouse et al. [1]. This material has a broad use in the food industry and biomedical fields, mostly due to its processing into transparent gels that are resistant to acid stress and exhibit excellent heat resistance up to 120 °C.
