Biofilm formation is a social behaviour that generates favourable conditions for sustained
survival in the natural environment. For the Gram‐positive bacterium B acillus subtilis the …

Fructans are multifunctional fructose‐based water soluble carbohydrates found in all
biological kingdoms but not in animals. Most research has focused on plant and microbial …

In Bacteroidetes, one of the dominant phyla of the mammalian gut, active uptake of large
nutrients across the outer membrane is mediated by SusCD protein complexes via a “pedal …

The production of levan by Bacillus licheniformis NS032 in a medium based on sugar beet
molasses was studied. High polysaccharide yields were produced by using diluted …

Buckwheat sourdoughs supplemented with molasses as natural sucrose source were
fermented with levan-producing Gluconobacter (G.) albidus TMW 2.1191 and Kozakia (K.) …

Levan, a bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS), has been suggested to have several biological
activities, such as anti-tumour activity and lowering blood pressure. There has also been …

Levan, a unique homopolysaccharide consisting of fructose residues linked by β-(2, 6)
bonds, possess promising physiochemical and physiological properties with numerous …

Acetic acid bacteria are versatile organisms converting a number of carbon sources into
biomolecules of industrial interest. Such properties, together with the need to limit chemical …

Simple Summary Bacteria can produce diverse homopolysaccharides (HoPSs), which are
polymers of glucose, fructose or galactose. The synthesis of these compounds is catalyzed …

This study demonstrated the effects of semi-solid enzymolysis on physicochemical
properties of fruiting body powders and polysaccharides from Hericium erinaceus and …
