Polymer extraction and purification
- Move dried up bacteria into test tube.
- Break up them to separate and add 10ml chloroform.
- Incubate for 48hour at 60C.
- Make it filtered through PTFE and move it into another test tube.
- Volatilize organic solvent by exposing air and separate polymer.
- Add 5ml hexane and voltex for a minute. After centrifuging (1,500rpm, 10min), remove the clear layer.
- Volatilize chloroform by exposing air again.
- Add 5ml MtOH, voltex for a minute, centrifuge (1,500rpm, 10min), and remove the clear layer.
