Abstract: | A newly isolated marine bacterium, identified as Zoogloea sp., produced two different polysaccharides: one was water-soluble and the other was cell-bound. Both had non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic fluid behaviour and the solutions had low activation energies. The solutions of these polysaccharides showed rheological behaviour over a wide range of pH (2–12) and temperature (20–80 °C), and compatibility with NaCl. |
