Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain RAC was isolated based on its ability to secrete large amount of exopolysaccharide (EPS). The purified EPS had a molecular weight of 2.25 x 10(5) Da, and showed fibrillar structure with surfaces having sheet-like appearance. Chemical analysis showed the presence of galacturonic acid, ribose, arabinose, xylose, glucose, galactose and rhamnose sugars. The production of EPS was optimized by the classical one-at-a-time approach and Plackett-Burman design, followed by response surface methodology. The resulting response surface model was statistically significant (p< 0.5) and predicted maximum EPS production of 628 mg/L. The optimum production medium consisted of CaCl2 - 74, NaNO3 - 422, K-2 HPO4 - 10 and MgSO4 - 200 mg/L with a pH 7. The EPS showed significant antioxidant activity, which can have several industrial applications. This is the first report on characterization and production of EPS from a Chlamydomonas strain isolated from India. Its differences from the earlier reported EPS are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
