Abstract
⺠About 16 bacterial isolates were screened for their ability to produce bioflocculants. ⺠The most efficient one was identified as Bacillus mojavensis strain 32A was able to produce 5.2 g/L of purified bioflocculant. ⺠Characterization of biopolymer revealed that it is a heteropolysaccharide. ⺠The flocculation and sedimentation efficiency of the purified polymer was examined.
