RESUMO
The marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain NCMB 2021, which can attach to solid, and especially hydrophobic, surfaces, elaborates two different extracellular polysaccharides in batch cultures. One (polysaccharide A) was produced only during exponential growth and contained glucose, galactose, glucuronic acid, and galacturonic acid in a molar ratio of 1.00:0.81:0.42:0.32. It produced viscous solutions, formed gels at high concentrations, and precipitated with several multivalent cations. The other (polysaccharide B) was released at the end of the exponential phase and in the stationary phase. It contained equimolar amounts of N-acetylglucosamine, 2-keto-3-deoxyoctulosonic acid, an unidentified 6-deoxyhexose, and also O-acetyl groups. Despite its high molecular weight (105 to 106 as judged by gel filtration), the polysaccharide produced aqueous solutions with very low viscosities and was also soluble in 90% aqueous phenol, 80% methanol, and 80% ethanol.
