Abstract Phormidium 94a, a cyanobacteria that produces extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), was isolated from arid soils of Mexico. Microscopic localization, using histochemical techniques like the Toluidine blue technique, done in order to demonstrate presence EPS. Acetone added precipitate In this study we characterized EPS by GC, HPLC, and IR techniques. The highest fraction had molecular weight 2,000 kDa. sugar composition galactose, mannose, galacturonic acid, arabinose, ribose...
