Abstract excerpt
Two phylogenetically distinct marine strains producing transparent exopolymers (TEP), designated HTCC2155(T) and HTCC2160, were cultivated from Oregon coast seawater by dilution to extinction in a high throughput culturing format. When cultured in low-nutrient seawater media, these strains copiously produced Alcian Blue-stainable viscous TEP. Growing cells were attached to each other by the TEP in a three...
