Levan is a fascinating β-(2, 6)-linked fructose polymer with an unusual combination of
properties characterized in this review. In nature, levan is synthesized from sucrose by a …

Glycoside hydrolases (GH) have been shown to play unique roles in various biological
processes like the biosynthesis of glycans, cell wall metabolism, plant defence, signalling …

This work addresses the effect of sucrose concentration and temperature on the three
activities displayed by the levansucrase from Zymomonas mobilis: formation of levan …

The physicochemical properties and biological activity of levan, a generic term given to oligo-
and polysaccharides consisting of fructose units linked predominantly by β (2-6) bonds, are …

Two levan distributions are produced typically by Bacillus subtilis levansucrase (SacB): a
high-molecular weight (HMW) levan with an average molecular weight of 2300 kDa, and a …

Levansucrase catalyzes production of levan and levan-type fructooligosaccharides (LFOs)
with potential applications in food and pharmaceutical industries such as prebiotics and anti …

Molasses with abundant sugars is widely used for bioethanol production. Although the
ethanologenic bacterium Zymomonas mobilis can use glucose, fructose, and sucrose for …

Levan is a fructan polymer that offers a variety of applications in the chemical, health,
cosmetic and food industries. Most of the levan applications depend on levan molecular …

FTIR and NMR spectra were measured in parallel for specific two-components mixtures of
various proteins with different sugar molecules, such as arabinose, glucose, and sucrose. In …

This study is a new trial aimed to solve levansucrase high cost and levan associated
problems during the purification process. Also, kinetic and thermodynamic study was done …
