A simple method for the simultaneous decoloration and deproteinization of crude levan extract from the endophytic bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa EJS-3 was developed through static and dynamic adsorption tests of macroporous resins. S-8 resin demonstrated the highest decoloration and deproteinizati...
