My bacteria sample is Acinetobacter baumannii. I found one protocol just centrifuge and using congo red and check OD 490 nm supernatant. I need more better protocol for extraction EPS with reference.
For extraction, you can simply centrifuge & precipitate with ethanol/ acetone. Additionally, you may partially purify it with TCA precipitation to take out the residual proteins. For quantification, you may use Congo red, apart from that alcian blue is also an option.
