Effect of acceptor carbohydrates on oligosaccharide and polysaccharide synthesis by dextransucrase DsrM from Weissella cibaria
Download2017-09-01
Hu, Ying, Winter, Verena, Chen, Xiao Yan, Gänzle, Michael G.
The digestibility of isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) as well as their metabolism by gut microbiota depends on the degree of polymerization and the ratio of α-(1→4) to α-(1→6) linkages. Both parameters are influenced by the method of production. Commercial IMO are produced by transglycosylation of...

Structure-function relationships of bacterial and enzymatically produced reuterans and dextran in sourdough bread baking application
Download2015-12-19
Chen, Xiao Yan, Levy, Clemens, Gänzle, Michael G.
Exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria may improve texture and shelf life of bread. The effect of exopolysaccharides on bread quality, however, depends on properties of the EPS and the EPS producing strain. This study investigated structure-function relationships of EPS in baking...
