Abstract

Marine Microorganism strain 96CJ10356 produced extracellular polysaccharide (EPS-R) accompanied with cell growth. To improve the production of EPS-R, the effect of aeration rate was tested in a 5-liter jar fermentor with STN medium. The production of EPS-R was increased with aeration rate and after 72 hour cultivation, 12.20 g/l of EPS-R was obtained with an aeration rate of 1.5 vvm and the apparent viscosity was measured to be about 1000 cp with culture broth.
