Cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides: from production to applications in forest seedling support

Abstract

Enhancing Forest seedling resilience and improving soil quality are critical challenges under current climate change conditions. Cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a promising biotechnological solution due to their capacity to improve water retention, stabilize soil structure, and modulate rhizosphere interactions, thereby supporting plant adaptation to abiotic stress.
