Conclusion.
 the optimal medium for HZ-7 production was very
simple and cost-effective.
 the average molecular weight of HZ-7 (1.946x 105Da)
was lower than the reported molecular weight of other
Klebsiella sp. Bacteria exopolysaccharides. (More than
2.06 x 106 Da)
 HZ-7 can be applied to effectively adsorb low
concentration (20 mg/L) of Cr(VI).

Editor's Notes

  1. Received August 16, 2012; Accepted November 29, 2012; Published January 8, 2013 Funding: This workwas supportedby National Natural Science Foundation of China (Project No. 31100088), andApplication and Innovation Program from the Ministryof Public securityof thePeople’s Republic of China (Project No. 2010YYCXSDST054). The funders hadno role in studydesign, data collectionandanalysis, decision to publish, or preparation of themanuscript.
  2. The novel exopolysaccharide HZ-7 is produced by Klebsiella sp. H-207, and its fermentation conditions were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). In this study, the optimizedmedium consisted of sucrose 31.93 g/L, KNO3 2.17 g/L and K2HPO4 5.47 g/L; while the optimized culture conditions consisted of seed age 13 h, with an inoculum size of 10.6% and incubation temperature of 28.9uC. A maximum HZ-7 yield of about 15.05 g/L was achieved under the optimized conditions using RSM and single-factor experiments. Next the exopolysaccharide HZ-7 was partially purified and characterized. The resulting product showed good properties, such as high concentration of uronic acid (41.67%), low average molecular weight (about 1.946105Da) and porous surface structure, were very advantageous to biosorption. ThereforeHZ-7was applied toabsorbhexavalent chromium(Cr(VI)). Themaximumadsorptionefficiency (99.2%)whichwas obtainedat an initial pHof 1.0 alongwithan initial Cr(VI) concentrationof 20 mg/L, was not affectedbyordinarymetal ions and temperature. These data suggest Klebsiella sp. H-207 exopolysaccharide will be promising potential for industrial application.
  3. 1.An exopolysaccharide-producing Klebsiella sp. H-207 isolated from an activated sludge sample. It was identified by analyzing its physiological and biochemical characteristics as well ingredients kept constant.as the 16S rDNA sequence (GenBank accession number one by one, which included inoculum size, seed age, medium JX455816). 2. The medium for agar slant consisted of (g/L) yeast extract, 5peptone, 10; NaCl, 20; and agar, 20. The seed medium contained(g/L) sucrose, 10; KNO3, 4; NaCl, 0.1; KH2PO4,2;K2HPO4,5; (NH4)2SO4, 0.2 andMgSO4?7H2O, 0.2. The primary production medium (g/L) included sucrose, 20; KNO3, 3; NaCl, 0.1; KH2PO4,2;K2HPO4, 5; (NH4)2SO4, 0.2 and MgSO4?7H2O, 0.2. The initial pH of the mediumwas adjusted to 7.0–7.5. For seed preparation, a single colony of the strain H-207 inoculated into 50 mL of seed medium in a 250-mL flask incubated at 32uC with shaking at 180 rpm for 12 h. 10% (v/v) seed culture was transferred to 50 mL of medium in a 250-mL flask, and the flask was incubated at 32uC trials. with shaking at 180 rpm for 80 h 3. The fermentation brothwas centrifuged at 8,000 g for 30 min at 4uC. The supernatant was collected and dried in the oven at 50uC Thus the yield of exopolysaccharide HZ-7 was determined represented as g/L dryweight. 4. Six carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, soluble starch and dextrin), six nitrogen sources (yeast Microorganism extract, peptone, urea, ammonium, (NH4)2SO4,NH4Cl KNO3) and two mineral salts (K2HPO4 and MgSO4?7H2O) were added to basal medium with the concentrations of the Six culture conditions were optimized one by one, which included inoculum size, seed age, medium volume, agitation rate, initial pH and temperature. After determining the significant factors, a three-level, three- Media and Culture Conditions factor Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied to further study. 5. The fermentation broth was boiled for 30 min and then centrifuged at 8,000g for 30 min at 4uC. The supernatant was mixed with three volumes of chilled ethanol and left to stand at 4uC overnight. The resultant precipitate was collected centrifugation at 8,000 g for 30 min and then washed three times using 70% (v/v) ethanol. Then the precipitate was dissolved and dialyzed using deionized water. Finally, the main polysaccharide was obtained using Sephacryl column chromatography (16 mm6180 mm, Amersham, US) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. 6. total sugar content was determined by the phenol–sulphuric acid method , using glucose As STanDard. uronic acids and amino sugar were determined by the carbazole–sulphate reaction and the Elson–Morgan reaction with glucuronic acid and glucose amine as the standard solution, respectively [18]. The protein content was measured by the Bradford method with bovine serum albumin as a standard. Element analysis was achieved with an elemental analyzer (Perkin-Elmer; CHNS/O-2400 II). with 2 mg of powdered samples at 1000uC of oven temperature for 3 min. Infrared spectra was recorded in the frequency range of 4000-400 cm21 by a Fourier transform (FT-IR) spectrophotom-eter (Thermo Electron, Nicolet IR200).prepared in the flowing manner: the sample pellets 2 mg was mixed with 200 milligram of dry potassium bromide (KBr),the mixture was pressed into a 16 mm diameter mold. electron microscope (SEM, LEO 1530, Germany) analysis was performed by the followingmethod: the sample was coatedwith thin layer of gold by means of ion sputter coating and then applied to scanning analysis with an accelerating voltage of 10 kV. The average molecular weight was determined by a high was 30 g/Lperformance liquid chromatography.laser light scattering (Wyatt, DAWN HELEOS) and refractive index detector (Agilent, G1362A). Samples were applied to TSKgel GMPWXL column (7.8 mm6300 mm) and eluted with0.2 mol/L NaCl at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min, with the columntemperature maintained at 35uC. 7. MgCl2 and AlCl3 were used as cation sources and the dosage along with the concentration were 5 mL and 1% (w/v), respectively. The initial pH was adjusted from 0.5 to 5. The reaction temperature was varied from2 0 to 40uC, and the reaction time was varied from 10 to 80 min. The initial Cr(VI) concentration was varied from 20 to 280 mg/L. The Cr(VI) concentration was measured using the Diphenylcarbazide (DPC) method [20], using potassiumdichromate as the standard solution. The adsorption efficiency was calculated according to the following equation: where is adsorption efficiency, A540 and B540 represent absorbance values of the initial reaction solution and the final reaction solution.
