Abstract:The study involved isolation and identification of the bacterium Serratia ficaria from the soil ,and The effect of incubation period , different carbon and nitrogen sources on ability of the isolate to produce extracellular polysaccharide was investigatal . The highest production of polysaccharide (2.55 g/L ) was obtained after (5) days of incubation . Maximum and lowest production of polysaccharide was achieved when glucose and sodium nitrate was ( 2.57 and 2.91 g/l) , lactose and sodium nitrite (0.72 and 0.9… Show more
