EXTRACELLULAR POLYSACCHARIDE PRODUCED BY BACTERIA BELONGING TO GENUS RHODOCOCCUS AND CLARIFICATION METHOD OF MARINE ENVIRONMENT USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clarification method of the marine environment. SOLUTION: An extracellular polysaccharide produced by bacteria belonging to genus Rhodococcus can be liberated from bacterial cells by a physical impact and contains a lipid-like material. The clarification method of the marine environment utilizes the polysaccharide.
