Comparative methods for isolation of Volcaniella eurihalina exopolysaccharide

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

The best isolation procedure to obtain the EPS of Volcaniella eurihalina was centrifugation at 36,000 x g for 60 min and precipitation with cold ethanol after tangential filtration with 100,000 D ultrafilters. Ion chromatography showed that this EPS contained glucose, rhamnose and mannose in a molar ratio of 3.2: 1.1:1, respectively.
