Optimization and characterization of an extracellular polysaccharide produced by Glomerella cingulata

A new strain of the fungus Glomerella cingulata has been isolated, which produces an extracellular highly viscous polysaccharide in a simple mineral medium. Optimum conditions for its production and properties are described. The polysaccharide produced was a glucan type. The viscosity remained stabl...

Description
Summary:A new strain of the fungus Glomerella cingulata has been isolated, which produces an extracellular highly viscous polysaccharide in a simple mineral medium. Optimum conditions for its production and properties are described. The polysaccharide produced was a glucan type. The viscosity remained stable during storage over a period of seven days. Large changes in temperature and pH have no effect on viscosity.
