We show that the quotient algebra B(X)/I has a unique algebra norm for every closed ideal I of the Banach algebra B(X) of bounded operators on X, where X denotes any of the following Banach spaces: (⨁n∈Nℓ2n)c0 or its dual space (⨁n∈Nℓ2n)ℓ1, (⨁n∈Nℓ2n)c0⊕c0(Γ) or its dual space (⨁n∈Nℓ2n)ℓ1⊕ℓ1(Γ) for an uncountable cardinal number Γ, C0(KA), the Banach space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity on the locally compact Mrówka space KA induced by an uncountable, almost disjoint family A of infinite subsets of N, constructed such that C0(KA) admits "few operators".
