The invention discloses pantoea sp. W36-1, of which the preservation number is CGMCC No. is 3701, a flocculant prepared by the pantoea sp. W36-1 and application of the flocculant in removal of suspensions, dyeing agents and heavy metal in waste water. Extracellular products of the bacteria have an obvious absorption peak at 200 to 250nm, and polysaccharide solution can remove 54.89 percent of free groups in the bacteria. The method for preparing the pantoea sp. W36-1 comprises the following steps of: performing fermentation culture of the bacteria strain for 48 hours, centrifuging 100ml of fermentation solution at a rotation speed of 6,000r / min for 10 minutes, adding absolute ethanol, of which the volume is 1.5 times that of supernatant, into the supernatant, uniformly mixing the absoluteethanol and the supernatant standing the mixed solution at the temperature of 4 DEG C overnight, centrifuging the precipitate, washing the precipitate by 70-percent ethanol for 2 to 3 times, and thendrying the precipitate to obtain the finished product. The flocculent activity of the fermentation culture product of the pantoea sp. W36-1 is 81.7 to 83.15 percent, the yield of the pantoea sp. W36-1 is 6g / L and can be widely used for removing suspensions, dyeing agents, heavy metal and the like in waste water.
