Abstract: Microcystic aeruginosa, a kind of blue-green alga, is the main alga in algae bloom. In this study extra-and intra-cellular crude polysaccharides were purified from M.aeruginosa by different temperature and pH. Their acidic components which had alduronic acid groups were purified by DE-52, and then acidic polysaccharides of the two groups from intra-cellular and one group from extra-cellular were purified by Sephadex columns. Each of these three acidic polysaccharides presents a single HPLC peak in its respective chromatographs of DE-52 and Sephadex G-150 columns. These three acidic polysaccharides are different from each other in their molecular weights, alduronic acid contents and monosaccharides constitutents.

Key words: Microcystic aeruginosa, intracellular acidic polysaccharide (IAPS), extracellular acidic polysaccharide (EAPS), isolation, identify
