Abstract
Honey has attracted the attention of scientists recently. The researchers have focused on the products of the honey isolates as an antimicrobial, an antioxidant, and an anticancer agent, besides its great role in the immune system improvement. This chapter will focus on honey bacterial and fungal isolates and the ability of them to produce different enzymes such as levansucrase, dextransucrase, and chitinase. A few years ago, the polysaccharides from bacterial honey isolates were recommended as a multifunction agent that could play a great role in the immune system improvement. This article paid attention to the bacterial honey isolates that have probiotic features. Furthermore, it will focus on the applications of the polysaccharides yielded by honey isolates with unique properties as a cancer-protective, antiviral, antioxidant, fibrinolytic agent, anticoagulant, prebiotic, cures peptic ulcers, and anticancer. Finally, this chapter focused on the recommendation of bee honey as a new reservoir for probiotic bacteria producing applied polysaccharides.
