Abstract
Metal adsorption of the acidic polysaccharide produced from Methylobac terium organophilum was investigated. The polysaccharide non-specifica lly adsorbed 21% for copper and 18% for lead of the polysaccharide use d after 30 minutes of reaction time at pH 7. The metal adsorption may be caused by the interaction between metal cations and negative charge s of acidic residues of the polysaccharide such as uronic, pyruvic and acetic acid.
