Structurally diverse biopolymers, including extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), synthesized
by bacteria can possess physicochemical and functional properties that make them …

Glucansucrases and branching sucrases are classified in the family 70 of glycoside
hydrolases. They are produced by lactic acid bacteria occupying very diverse ecological …

Several lactic acid bacteria are able to produce water-soluble and water-insoluble
homoexopolysaccharides (HoEPS) from sucrose. In this study, structures of all HoEPS which …

Homoexopolysaccharides (HoEPS) such as α-glucans and β-fructans are synthesized by
lactic and acetic acid bacteria. Methylation analysis is an important and well-established tool …

Abstract Glycoside hydrolase family 70 (GH70) glucansucrases produce α-d-glucan
polysaccharides (eg dextran), which have different linkage composition, branching degree …

Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Weissella contribute to spontaneous fermentation in, eg,
sourdough or sauerkraut, but are not registered as starter cultures because of their pending …

Soybean tempeh contains bioactive carbohydrate that can reduce the severity of diarrhea by
inhibiting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) adhesion to mammalian epithelial cells …

Glucansucrases catalyse the formation of glucans from sucrose. The glucansucrase-
encoding gene from Leuconostoc citreum ABK-1, dex-N, was successfully cloned and …

Polysaccharides are the most abundant natural biopolymers on the earth and are widely
used in food, medicine, materials, cosmetics, and other fields. The physicochemical …

Two exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing Lactococcus lactis strains that differed largely in
their technofunctional properties (gel stiffness, ropiness) were used to relate their …
