## Abstract Biodegradable dissolved organic material and ammonia present problems for conventional water treatment processes and may contribute to biological instability in the treated water. One solution may be to use a biological process upstream of the regular water treatment process. Biofiltrat

โฆ Synopsis
27 strains of mieroorgenisms including moulds, bacteria, aetinomyees and yeasts, which produced substances that flocculated a kaolin clay, were screened. One sU'ain, identified as Arthrobacter sp., secreted biofloeculant during growth. The flocculant ('MF-6) was purified to eleclrophoretic homogeneity by precipitation with ethanol and gel chromatography. Its molecular weight was higher than 10 e De_ It could efficiently flocculate all suspended solids tested in aqueous solution and colored water like dye solulJort, and its flocculating ability was significantly enhanced by adding Ca ~, Mn ~* , Mg ~, etc.
