A composition of sodium hyaluronate is provided having no skin irritation and no pyrogenicity and inflammatory activity. Such a composition can be obtained by a novel mutant microorganism Streptococcus zooepidemicus HA-116 ATCC 39920. Said strain produces large amounts of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid that is excreted into the medium by the organism when the medium includes a sugar component as the carbon source in a substantially constant concentration between 0.2 and 10 g per literat a pH of 6.5 to 7.5 together with a substantially constant magnesium ion concentration that is above 0.05 g per liter. |
