A preliminary study was carried out to optimize the culture medium conditions for producing a novel microbial flocculant from the marine bacterial species Cobetia marina. The optimal glucose, yeast extract, and glutamate contents were 30, 10, and 2 g/l, respectively, while the optimal initial pH of the culture medium was determined to be 8. Following response surface optimization, the maximum bioflocculant production level of 1.36 g/l was achieved, which was 43.40% higher than the original culture medium. Within 5 min, a 20.0% (v/v) dosage of the yielded bioflocculant applied to algal cultures resulted in the highest flocculating efficiency of 93.9% with Spirulina platensis. The bioflocculant from C. marina MCCC1113 may have promising application potential for highly productive microalgae collection, according to the findings of this study.
