A mutant that produced higher levels of curdlan than the wild strain Agrobacterium sp.Abstract:
We isolated a mutant that produced higher levels of curdlan than the wild strain Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31750 by chemical mutagenesis using N-methyl-N-nitro-nitrosoguanidine. The mutant strain produced 66 g/L of curdlan in 120 h with a yield of (0.88) while, the wild strain produced 41 g/L in 120 h with a yield of (0.62) in a stirred bioreactor. The mutant could not produce curdlan when the pH was shifted from 7.0 to 5.5 after nitrogen depletion as followed for wild strain. In contrast, pH optimum for cell growth and curdlan production for mutant was found to be 7.0. We optimized the downstream processing of curdlan by varying different volumes of NaOH and HCl for extraction and precipitation of curdlan. The molecular weight of the purified curdlan from the wild and mutant strain was 6.6 × 105 Da and 5.8 × 105 Da respectively. The monosaccharide analyses confirm that curdlan from both wild and mutant strain contains only glucose units. From the NMR and FTIR data, it has been confirmed that curdlan was exclusively composed of β (1 → 3)-D-glucan residues.read more

Microdetermination of Phosphorus
TL;DR: The method described in this paper has the greatest sensitivity, being able to demonstrate the presence of 0.10 μg of phosphorus per ml. It is based on the reduction of phosphomolybdate complex with ascorbic acid, and is essentially identical to the method published by Chen, Toribara and Warner (1956).

Microbial polysaccharides from Gram-negative bacteria
TL;DR: While almost all this non-structural data has accumulated from the study of Gram negative species, this background information provides a sound basis from which polysaccharides from Gram positive bacteria can now be developed.
