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 […]
