Novel exopolysaccharide production by Azotobacter vinelandii

An isolate of Azotobacter vinelandii from the rhizosphere of the rhizomes of lotus produced a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) having the composition of glucose:galactose:rhamnose (2.5:1:1.2). This composition has not been reported previously. The EPS has excellent viscosifying properties and could pos...

Zusammenfassung:	An isolate of Azotobacter vinelandii from the rhizosphere of the rhizomes of lotus produced a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) having the composition of glucose:galactose:rhamnose (2.5:1:1.2). This composition has not been reported previously. The EPS has excellent viscosifying properties and could possibly be pseudoplastic in nature.
