Abstract/Summary

Potential application of gellan in medicine and oil recovery based on literature survey and own results of authors has been presented in this mini-review. Purification and fractionation procedures of commercial gellan gum have been described. The application of gellan gum and its modified derivatives in medicine, in particular, as drug delivery systems accompanied by mucoadhesivity has been briefly considered. Gold nanoparticles immobilized within gellan and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-grafted gellan have been demonstrated for photothermal treatment of Ehrlich cancer cell. Potential application of gellan in oil recovery has been considered. The prospect of organizing the gellan production in Kazakhstan has been outlined.
