Bacterial strain CMG 1436 identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri was found to produce an extracellular anionic heteropolysaccharide in growth medium. By acid hydrolysis exopolysaccharide was depolymerized into glucuronic acid, D-glucose and D-arabinose monomers. Their separation on Whattman paper No. 3 revealed that the number of D-glucose and D-arabinose monomers was found to be concentrated whereas that of glucuronic acid was lower. Further, like other bacterial polysaccharides, this exopolysaccharide was found to be high molecular weight polymer and its molecular weight was estimated in the range >20,000 and
