Bacterial levansucrase (EC 2.4. 1.10) converts sucrose into non-linear levan consisting of
long β (2, 6)-linked fructosyl chains with β (2, 1) branches. Bacterial levan has wide food and …

The production of prebiotic oligosaccharides is usually achieved through one of three
general processes (Grizard and Barthomeuf, 1999a):(1) direct extraction of natural …

As fossil raw materials are diminishing, and as the pressure on our environment is
strengthening, the progressive switch of industry toward renewable feedstock emerges as …

Food products are designed for taste, appearance, cost and convenience of the consumer.
The design of food products that confer a health benefit is a relatively new trend, and …

Abstract Levansucrase (EC 2.4. 1.10) forms levan, a fructose homopolymer. The efficient
production of fructans is affected by a few factors, including substrate concentration …

Transglutaminase is a calcium dependent enzyme that catalyses acyl transfer reactions
between primary amino groups and protein bound glutamine residues. Eighteen bacteria …

This report gathers selected and recent examples of studies of the conformation, structure,
dynamics and binding features of saccharides and analogues. It has not been our intention …

RESUMEN La levansucrasa Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (LsdA) se expresaba
constitutivamente en la P. pastoris bajo el control del promotor de la gliceraldehido-3-fosfato …

This study aimed to investigate new bacterial sources with the ability to produce inulinase
and to optimize fermentation conditions for inulinase production. The inulinase production …

Fructans are polyfructose molecules produced by the action of fructosyltransferases on
sucrose. Included in the diet, fructans function as fiber due to their non-digestibility. Those of …
