Pseudomonas delafieldii이 배양액으로부터 분리한 다당류 용액의 물성을 검토하였다. 본 다당류는 매우 점도가 높은 의가소성 물질로 1% 용액의 겉보기 점도는 42sec$^{-1}$에서 1769mpaㆍs이었다. 이 용액은 pH에 대한 안정성은 있으나 열 안정성은 보이지 않았다. 이 용액의 유동 활성에너지는 4.44kacl/mole 이고, 농도의존성은 double 1logarithm으로 포현되었다.
The extracellular polysaccharide was isolated from the culture of Ps. delafieldii and its rheological property was evaluated. The aqueous solution was extremely viscous and shows pseudoplastic behaviour. The flow behaviour index and apparent viscosity of 1 ％solution were 0.09 and 1169 mPa·s. The solution was stable over pH change but did not have thermal stability. The activation energy of flow of 1 ％ solution was 4.44 kcal/mole. The concentration dependency could be expressed double logarithmically.
