Notes:
Two black yeast polysaccharides show similar non-Newtonian behavior when the effects of polysaccharide concentration, shear rate, pH, salt, and temperature on the viscosity of dispersions are examined. Both polysaccharides readily form viscous aqueous dispersions and can be cast into flexible films, and both stabilize oil-water emulsions. Each of these two polysaccharides occurs extracellularly in the culture fluids of two different black yeast-like fungi - Rhinocladiella elatior Mangenot (strain NRRL YB-4163) and Rhinocladiella mansonii (Castellani) Schol-Schwarz (strain NRRL Y-6272). This report appears to be the first on the rheology of an extracellular polysaccharide which contains the unusual sugar N-acetyl-D-glucosaminuronic acid.
