XANTHAN PRODUCTION ON CRUDE GLYCEROL BY LAB-SCALE BIOREACTOR CULTIVATION OF LOCAL Xanthomonas ISOLATE
Intensive development of the global biodiesel industry has led to the generation of a large excess of crude glycerol, which is impure, and its disposal into the environment is unacceptable without previous purification. Since purification costs are high, the application of crude glycerol in biotechnological production of valueadded products represe...

The possibility of application of xanthan in removal of metal ions from wastewaters
Biopolymers have the ability to absorb large amounts of water or biological fluids. They are swelling and forming hydrogels. Thanks to this, they have found a variety of applications, and among others they can be used to remove some metal ions from the water. Due to its unique structure and exceptional rheological characteristics, microbiological b...
