Halomonas eurihalina strain H-28 is a moderately halophilic bacterium that produces an extracellular polysaccharide not only in media with glucose but also in media supplemented with hydrocarbons (n-tetradecane, n-hexadecane, n-octane, xylene, mineral light oil, mineral heavy oil, petrol, or crude o...
