Abstract
A biopolymer flocculant produced by Pseudomonas sp. A-99 had flocculat ing activity both in inorganic suspensions containing Ca2+, Mg2+ or Fe 3+ and in organic suspensions containing Fe2+, Fe3+ or Al3+. The flocc ulant was an acidic protein and contained a small amount of an acidic polysaccharide consisting of galacturonic acid, glucose and galactose. Productivity of the flocculant was about 450 mg/l medium.
