Bacillus subtilis UPMB13 was found to be an L-glutamic acid independent producer of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with bioflocculation properties. Optimum production of the bioflocculant was found to be at the early stage of cell propagation of 24–72 h of fermentation. At a limited nutrie...
