Slime Production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Year: 1973

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Two samples of slime obtained from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, IFO 3445 and No. 24, the latter which produced mucoid colonies on brain heart infusion agar as well as on the synthetic agar medium, were investigated for their physicochemical properties, primarily for their viscosities. Results obtained indicated that the principal component of the slime from strain IFO 3445 might be a deoxyribonucleic acid‐like substance, while the slime from the mucoid strain No. 24 might be an alginic acid‐like substance.
