Summary Xanthan concentration and molecular weight distribution are determined by size exclusion chromatography in the fermentation medium after dilution and cell removal by centrifugation. The analysis is rapid enough for process control. During a batch fermentation, the average molecular weight is found to be in the range of 7.2–9.3·106 g/mole and to run through a maximum.
