摘要
Two new bacterial strains designated Zoogloea ramigera 115SL and Zoogloea ramigera 115SLR, a rifampicin resistant derivative of 115SL, have been developed. These strains are derived from the wild type Zoogloea ramigera 115, ATCC 25935. The two new strains produce a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) and have several desirable characteristics that are absent from the parent strain, including improved culture properties, since they do not produce an EPS capsule layer like that of the parent 115 strain. The 115SL EPS is instead excreted as a slime layer which is not confined to the immediate area surrounding the cells. Since cells are not trapped within a floc where they grow at a reduced rate or die because of nutrient starvation, the new strains have more consistent and reproducible growth cycles and increased growth rates. As a consequence, exopolysaccharide production is more consistent and titers are higher. The separation of the EPS from the cells is also much easier and more economical. The other very important characteristic of strains 115SL and 115SLR is that they are able to receive foreign DNA using conventional techniques due to the absence of the capsule layer. This facilitates the application of recombinant DNA technology to control and produce novel expolysaccharides.
