We know that exopolysaccharides of microbial origin are of great practical importance, and have their industrial value because of the biological and physico - chemical characteristics of the producer. We had a goal to study the most important properties of an exopolysaccharide isolated from a bacterial culture of Streptococcus thermophilus. First we got exopolysaccharide. After that we had cultured the bacteria on A. Welman at 38 °C for 48 hours. To do this, 3000 g of culture liquid had been centrifuged for 30 minutes. Next, we removed the biomass sludge, and we evaporated the centrifuge on a rotary evaporator. After that, we precipitated the exopolysaccharide with a double volume of 96% ethyl alcohol. We got a concentrate which we then dissolved in a small amount of distilled water and had centrifuged for 30 minutes. Afterwards my colleges and I precipitated it again. Our further purification of the exopolysaccharide we had to perform using some gel filtration on a column with a Sephadex G-50. It had to be dried on a freeze dryer. Thus, we obtained an exopolysaccharide in the form of a light brown powder, it was odorless, without any foreign impurities and any producer cells. Our further work included following steps: we had to know the molecular weight of the exopolysaccharide. It was possible to make with gel chromatography on a Toyopearl – HW –50F column. We determined the chemical nature of the exopolysaccharide through ion exchange chromatography using a SPS Bio DEA medium with 70 microns. We determined the monosaccharide composition with the help of a thin-layer chromatography on DC-Alufolien Cellulose plates, and the relative viscosity by viscometer. As a result of our research, the exopolysaccharide S. thermophilus were presented by a single neutral fraction, with molecular weight of 20,000 Da, with a small relative viscosity.
