Abstract
The production of the K4 polysaccharide was obtained for the first tim e extracellularly from a strain of Escherichia coli. The set up of the fermentation conditions led to the maximum fermentation yield, as ext racellular K4, after 20 h. Purification and characterization of this K 4 resulted in 200 mg/L of highly purified K4.
