Abstract
A method for the isolation and purification of the voluminous extracellular polysaccharide of Chromobacterium violaceum is presented. The purified product was fibrous when wet but dried into a tough, pliable film which was completely water soluble, forming a highly viscous solution. Hydrolysis of the polysaccharide, isolation and identification of the components established the presence of glucose as the principal sugar. A uronic acid and an amino sugar not conclusively identified were also present. Glucose, uronic acid, and the amino sugar were found in an approximate 5:1:1 ratio.
