Abstract
A novel polysaccharide S-198 is disclosed composed of principally carbohydrate, 9-12% protein, and 2-4% O-acyl groups (calculated as O-acetyl). The carbohydrate portion comprises about 13-18% glucuronic acid and the neutral sugars mannose, glucose, and rhamnose in the approximate molar ratio 1:2:2. This polysaccharide is produced by a new Alcaligenes species ATCC 31853, in a suitable fermentation medium.
