Abstract

Abstract A process for producing polysaccharide consisting of a partially acetylated variable block copolymer of D-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid residues comprises growing a biologically pure culture of a Pseudomonas mendocina microorganism selected from the group consisting of NCIB 11687, 11688, and 11689 in an aqueous nutrient medium by submerged aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source and recovering the polysaccharide. Biologically pure cultures of the organisms are another feature of the invention.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 53 words
A biologically pure culture of a Pseudomonas mendocina microorganism selected from the group consisting of NCIB 11687, 11688, and 11689, said culture being capable of producing polysaccharide consisting of a partially acetylated variable block copolymer of D-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid residues in recoverable amounts by submerged, aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 53 words
A biologically pure culture of a Pseudomonas mendocina microorganism selected from the group consisting of NCIB 11687, 11688, and 11689, said culture being capable of producing polysaccharide consisting of a partially acetylated variable block copolymer of D-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid residues in recoverable amounts by submerged, aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 70 words
In a process for producing polysaccharide consisting of a partially acetylated variable block copolymer of D-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid residues which comprises growing a biologically pure culture of a Pseudomonas mendocina microorganism in an aqueous nutrient medium by submerged aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source and recovering said polysaccharide, the improvement which comprises said P. mendocina microorganism being selected from the group consisting of NCIB 11687, 11688, and 11689.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 70 words
In a process for producing polysaccharide consisting of a partially acetylated variable block copolymer of D-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid residues which comprises growing a biologically pure culture of a Pseudomonas mendocina microorganism in an aqueous nutrient medium by submerged aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source and recovering said polysaccharide, the improvement which comprises said P. mendocina microorganism being selected from the group consisting of NCIB 11687, 11688, and 11689.
