Abstract: In a prior art reactor set up dense aggregates of microorganisms are formed, typically in or embedded in an extracellular matrix. Such may relate to granules, to sphere like entities having a higher viscosity than water, globules, a biofilm, etc. The dense aggregates comprise extracellular polymeric substances, or biopolymers, in particular linear polysaccharides. The present invention is in the field of extraction of a biopolymer from a granular sludge, a biopolymer obtained by such method, and a use of such method.
