The simultaneous production of sphingan Ss and poly(R-3-hydroxybutyrate) in Sphingomonas sanxanigenens NX02

- An efficient co-production of sphingan Ss and PHB in S. sanxanigenens NX02.
- A very simple process to separate sphingan Ss and PHB in fermentation broth.
- Low-cost acid precipitation was used for ivory colored sphingan Ss extraction.
- Sphingan Ss can be used as an excellent elastic gelling agent.
- Sphingan Ss can be used as an excellent bioemulsifier.
