Abstract:Poly‐γ‐glutamic acid (γ‐PGA) is a microbial‐derived polymer with molecular weight (Mw) from 104 to 107 Da, and the high‐Mw (> 7.0 × 105 Da) or ultra‐high‐Mw (> 5.0 × 106 Da) γ‐PGA has important application value as a tissue engineering material, as a flocculant, and as a heavy metal remover. Therefore, how to produce these high‐Mw γ‐PGAs with low cost and high efficiency has attracted wide attention. In this study, a γ‐PGA producer was isolated from the natural environment, and identified and named Bacil… Show more
