Exopolymer production and flocculation by zoogloea mp6.
Flocculation by Zoogloea MP6 was accompanied by the production of a mucopolysaccharide exopolymer. Polymer formation was initiated in mid-logarithmic growth phase, and the quantity produced appeared to be influenced by the level of carbon and nitrogen in the culture medium.
