Abstract
A biopolymer flocculant produced by Pseudomonas sp. A-99 had flocculating activity both in inorganic suspensions containing Ca2, Mg2 or Fe3 and in organic suspensions containing Fe2, Fe3 or Al3. The flocculant was an acidic protein and contained a small amount of an acidic polysaccharide consisting of galacturonic acid, glucose and galactose. Productivity of the flocculant was about 450 mg/l medium. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
