Abstract excerpt
Two novel exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria, strains S18K6(T) and S18K5, were isolated from Pacific Ocean sediment. The isolates were Gram-negative, motile, strictly aerobic chemoheterotrophic bacteria. The DNA G+C contents of strains S18K6(T) and S18K5 were 44.8 and 46.3 mol%, respectively. DNA-DNA relatedness between the two strains was 70 %. Major fatty acids were hexadecanoic acid (C(16 : 0)), hexadecenoic...
