| Abstract: | Summary An isolate of Azotobacter vinelandii from the rhizosphere of the rhizomes of lotus produced a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) having the composition of glucose: galactose: rhamnose (2.5: 1: 1.2). This composition has not been reported previously. The EPS has excellent viscosifying properties and could possibly be pseudoplastic in nature. |
