Yield and Physicochemical Properties of EPS From Halomonas sp. Strain TG39 Identifies a Role for Protein and Anionic Residues (Sulfate and Phosphate) in Emulsification of n-Hexadecane

Authors

Tony Gutierrez, Gordon Morris, David H. Green

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the yield and physicochemical properties of the high molecular weight extracellular polymeric substance (HMW–EPS) produced by Halomonas sp. strain TG39 when grown on different types and ratios of substrates. Glucose (1% w/v) and a peptone/yeast extract ratio of 5.1 (0.6% w/v final concentration) yielded […]

Emulsifying and Metal Ion Binding Activity of a Glycoprotein Exopolymer Produced by Pseudoalteromonas sp. Strain TG12

Authors

Tony Gutierrez, Tracy Shimmield, Cheryl Haidon, Kenny Black, and David H. Green

Abstract

In this study, we describe the isolation and characterization of a new exopolymer that exhibits high emulsifying activities against a range of oil substrates and demonstrates a differential capacity to desorb various mono-, di-, and trivalent metal species from marine sediment under nonionic and […]

Partial purification and chemical characterization of a glycoprotein (putative hydrocolloid) emulsifier produced by a marine bacterium Antarctobacter

Authors

Tony Gutiérrez, Barbara Mulloy, Charlie Bavington, Kenny Black, David H. Green

Abstract

During screening for novel emulsifiers and surfactants, a marine alphaproteobacterium, Antarctobacter sp. TG22, was isolated and selected for its production of an extracellular emulsifying agent, AE22. This emulsifier was produced optimally in a low-nutrient seawater medium supplemented with glucose and was extractable by cold ethanol […]
