Highlights: [•] The bioflocculant-producing bacteria isolated from a sputum sample. [•] The bioflocculant is stable at wide ranges of pH and temperature. [•] Cation-independent bioflocculant produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae. [•] It could flocculate a variety of real wastewaters. [•] 79.4% flocculating activity for amoebae cysts was achieved with the bioflocculant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
