        abstract = {Pullulan is a water-soluble polysaccharide composed of maltotriose and maltotetrose units linked by a-(1->4) and a-(1->6) bonds. 
This extracellular polymer is produced by Aureobasidium pullulans, a saprophytic fungus found on diverse surfaces such as plant leaves.
The present study focuses on isolating A. pullulans from guava leaves, identifying it through morphological and biochemical characterization, and evaluating its 
pullulan production capacity. 
The extracted polysaccharide was confirmed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and analyzed for its flocculating, antioxidant, emulsification, 
and silver nanoparticle synthesis potential. The study highlights the multifaceted applications of pullulan in various industrial sectors.},
