Preparation of biopolymers with different viscosities by heat treatment under alkaline conditions.
Alcaligenes latus B-16 produces an extracellular biopolymer that exhibits high viscosity. The biopolymer (B-16 biopolymer) was recovered by adding an organic solvent into A. latus B-16 culture broth. B-16 biopolymers with different viscosities were prepared by heat treatment under alkaline conditions.
