Molecular weight and viscosifying power of alginates produced by mutant strains of Azotobacter vinelandii under microaerophilic conditions

Alginates are polysaccharides that are of interest in various industrial applications. This is due to the viscosifying properties of alginates, which depends on the weight-average molecular weight. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the changes in alginate quality, in terms of the viscosif...
