Isolation and purification of polysaccharide produce by an isolated bacterium associated with marine sponge, Aaptos sp.

Abstract

The study was done in order to identify the selected polysaccharide-producing bacterium isolated from the outer part of marine sponges, Aaptos sp., to isolate and purify polysaccharide produced by the bacterium, and to investigate the chemical properties of the polysaccharide.
