Summary A strain of Azotobacter vinelandii MTCC 2460 has been isolated from the rhizosphere of the rhizomes of lotus, which produces a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) having a sugar composition of glucose : galactose : fucose: glucoronic acid (2.2 : 2.7 : 5.6 : 1.6). This composition has not been reported for any species belonging to this genus. The EPS gives high viscosity comparable to xanthan under specific conditions.
