摘要
The bioflocculant produced by Rhodococcus erythropolis S-1 was found to exist as huge assemblies, the molecular mass of which is over one million daltons, composed of many polypeptides and lipids in aqueous solution. We have isolated and purified this lipid bioflocculant by ultracentrifugation, extracting with 90% acetone, and two successive silica gel chromatographies from the culture broth. It was homogeneous on silica gel thin-layer chromatography. H-1-NMR and HPLC studies showed that it was a kind of glycolipid that contained a C-16 methylene chain on the average and glucose in its chemical structure. The flocculating activity against kaolin clay suspension was dependent on the Ca2+ concentration.
