Abstract: P. aeruginosa wascapable to consum heavy oil as carbon source and produce non insoluble exopolysaccharide. The crude EPS was deprtoenized by tricholoracitic acid naturalized and dialyzed and precipitated by ethanol. One peak was obtained from gel chromatography (G200). By complete acid hydrolysis glucouronic acid, fructose and glucose were detected by HPLC. This polysaccharide show antioxidant activity that possesses DPPH radical-scavenging activity, with an EC50 =0.201
