Exopolysaccharides formation against harmful biotic and abiotic environmental influences is
common among bacteria. By using renewable resources as a substrate, exopolysaccharides …

Kombucha is a traditional low-alcoholic beverage made from sugared tea and transformed
by a complex microbial consortium including yeasts and acetic acid bacteria (AAB). To study …

In this study, twelve strains of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) belonging to five different genera
were tested for their ability to produce levan, at 70 and 250 g/L of sucrose concentration …

As part of a study investigating the microbiome of bee hives and honey, two novel strains
(TMW 2.1880 T and TMW 2.1889 T) of acetic acid bacteria were isolated and subsequently …

Wine production is a complex procedure in which an important role is played by many
microorganisms, particularly yeasts and bacteria. In modern wineries, alcoholic fermentation …

Many bacteria and archaea produce the polydisperse fructose polymer levan from sucrose
upon biofilm formation via extracellular levansucrases (EC 2.4. 1.10). We have investigated …

Aims Acetic acid bacteria of the genus Bombella have not been reported to produce
exopolysaccharides (EPS). In this study, the formation of fructans by B. apis TMW 2.1884 …

Levan is a fructan-type exopolysaccharide which is produced by many microbes from
sucrose via extracellular levansucrases. The hydrocolloid properties of levan depend on its …

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is an attractive green-synthesized biomaterial for biomedical
applications and various other applications. However, effective engineering of BNC …

In this study, the influence of levan on the phase behavior and the thermally induced
gelation of the mixed β-lactoglobulin—levan gels as a function of polymer content, molecular …
