  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A new isolated bacterium, identified asEnterobacter sakazakii, produces a highly viscous, anionic heteropolysaccharide. Optimum conditions for production, preliminary results about the composition and also comparative rheological measurements with xanthan andA. viscosus-polysaccharide are described.
