title: Xanthan gum production by wild-type isolates of Xanthomonas campestris.
abstract: Five newly-isolated strains of Xanthomonas campestris when compared with the standard strain, NRRL B-1459, showed higher broth viscosity and xanthan gum production. Evaluation of polysaccharide rheology is a very important determinant for selecting new xanthan-producing isolates.
