Claims
- 1. Heteropolysaccharide S-184, consisting essentially of carbohydrate, substantially no pyruvate, from 12% to 16% protein and from 3.0% to 4.5% acyl groups calculated as acetic acid, the carbohydrate portion containing from about 7% to 16% uronic acid, and the neutral sugars mannose, glucose, and galactose in the approximate molar ratios of 1:3:5.
- 2. The heteropolysaccharide S-184 of claim 1, produced by a biologically pure culture of Alcaligenes ATCC No. 53160 in an aqueous nutrient medium by aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source at a pH greater than 6.3 and a temperature of 30.degree.-75.degree. C.
