EXTRACELLULAR POLYSACCHARIDE,A PROCESS AND STRAIN FOR ITS PREPARATION,AND ITS USE

摘要

Fermentation of the bacterial strain Klebsiella planticola DSM 3092 results in an extracellular polysaccharide which can be used as viscosity regulator in aqueous systems, for example in plastering compositions. It is also suitable as thickening agent when high viscosities are required, for example in textile printing pastes.
