PURPOSE: To obtain cellulose chromatography support superior in separation to plant cellulose chromatography support by containing cellulose produced by microorganism.
CONSTITUTION: Microorganism cellulose indicates cellulose produced by incubating microorganism. A general method for incubating the microorganism by the use thereof is followed for the production accumulation of the microorganism cellulose, stationary culture is general in an incubation method and gelled film- like microorganism cellulose containing a liquid component of about more than 90% on the surface of incubation liquid when fungi are inoculated in a culture medium and incubated for a day to three months. The microorganism cellulose properly adjusting the length thereof in the treatment of disaggregation, acid decomposition, enzyme decomposition and the like is obtained in accordance with the shape of chromatography from such microorganism. When the microorganism cellulose is compared with plant cellulose, the degree of roughness of cellulose fiber is small, its uniformity is high and cellulose chromatography support superior in separation can be obtained.
