Bacterial fructosyltransferase (FTF) enzymes synthesize fructan polymers from sucrose.
FTFs catalyse two different reactions, depending on the nature of the acceptor, resulting in:(i) …

Lactobacillus reuteri strain 121 employs a fructosyltransferase (FTF) to synthesize a fructose
polymer [a fructan of the levan type, with β (2→ 6) linkages] from sucrose or raffinose …

Bacterial fructansucrase enzymes belong to glycoside hydrolase family 68 and catalyze
transglycosylation reactions with sucrose, resulting in the synthesis of …

Fructansucrases (FSs) catalyze a transfructosylation reaction with sucrose as substrate to
produce fructo-oligosaccharides and fructan polymers that contain either β-2, 1 glycosidic …

Fructansucrase enzymes polymerize the fructose moiety of sucrose into levan or inulin
fructans, with β (2-6) and β (2-1) linkages, respectively. Here, we report an evaluation of …

In the present study, we have coupled detailed acceptor and donor substrate studies of the
fructosyltransferase (FTF, levansucrase)(EC 2.4. 1.162) from Bacillus subtilis NCIMB 11871 …

Bacterial fructosyltransferases (FTFs) are retaining‐type glycosidases that belong to family
68 of glycoside hydrolases. Recently, the high‐resolution 3D structure of the Bacillus subtilis …

The levansucrase (sucrose: 2, 6-beta-D-fructan 6-beta-D-fructosyltransferase, EC 2.4. 1.10)
structural gene from a Bacillus subtilis mutant strain displaying a low polymerase activity …

A new fructosyl transferase (EC 2.4. 1.161), with an exceptionally high propensity to form a
wide range of α 1–2 linked disaccharides, but which does not form appreciable levan …

Fructosyltransferase (FTF) enzymes have been characterized from various Gram-positive
bacteria, but not from Lactobacillus sp. In a screening of 182 lactobacilli for polysaccharide …
