An extracelular polysaccharide was produced through microbiology, using the ZSP bacteria isolated in the Industrial Microbiological Laboratory of the Sugar cane Experimental Station at Carpina/UFRPE, Pernambuco, Brazil, presenting exceptional process capacity. The principal monosaccharides present in the ¹soluble fraction were glucose (87.6%), xylose (8.6%), mannose (0.8%), ribose (1.7%), galactose (0.1%), arabinose (0.4%) and the glucuronic acid (0.8%). Due to the high rate of injuries that occur with domestic animals and the search for simple, economical alternatives that would be capable of giving ideal conditions for the healing process, extensive testing was done with the biopolymer produced by sugar cane in animals that had cutaneous wounds, so as to evaluate the reepitelization process. It was observed from the testing results that there was better skin granulation, better infection control, and less healing time, which allowed the conclusion that the biopolymer contributed favorabably in the healing process, and could be used in cutaneous injuries.
