Klebsiena pneumoniae H12 produced a newly identified extracellular po}ysaccharide in an ethanol medium with a yield of 3.0 g/1. The molar compesition of the polysaccharide was 56.04% galactose, 25.92% glucose, 10.92% galacturonic acid, 3.71% mannose, and 3.37% glucuronic acid. The addition of O.5%-1.5% NaCl increased production. The polysaccharide flocculated with kaolin clay in silspension at ...

Industrial biotechnology is one of the enabling technologies for biorefineries, where biomass is converted into value-added products. In addition to biofuels, several platform and fine chemicals can be produced from biomass using biotechnological routes taking advantage of metabolic pathways in the cell. Some of these metabolic pathways exist naturally in the cells that are used as production h...

Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) tech-nique was employed for the extraction of pectin from black mulberry (Morus nigra) pomace in this research. The effects of process variables namely microwave power (300-900 watt), irradiation time (10-30 min) and liquid to solid ratio (15-30 mL/g) on the yield, degree of esterification (DE) and galacturonic acid content (GalA) of pectin were investigated ...

d-Galacturonic acid 1-phosphate was found to be one of the products formed during hydrolysis of the cell wall lipopolysaccharide of Xanthomonas campestris in 0.01 n acetic acid at pH 3.3. The molecule was shown to consist of equimolar amounts of d-galacturonic acid and phosphate. Resistance to borohydride reduction before, but not after, treatment with Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase indi...

A noteworthy advance in the knowledge of the constitution of the pectic compounds was afforded through the excellent researches of Ehrlich and his coworkers (1)) who discovered that d-galacturonic acid, an isomer of d-glucuronic acid, was a constituent of all pectic substances so far examined. Later researches showed that the pectic acid obtainable from sugar beet pectin (2) can be regarded as ...
