Potent Inhibitory Effects of D-tagatose on the Acid Production and Water-insoluble Glucan Synthesis of Streptococcus mutans GS5 in the Presence of Sucrose [PDF]
We examined and compared the inhibitory effects of D-tagatose on the growth, acid production, and water-insoluble glucan synthesis of GS5, a bacterial strain of Streptococcus mutans, with those of xylitol, D-psicose, L-psicose and L-tagatose.

Conversion of xylan by recyclable spores of Bacillus subtilis displaying thermophilic enzymes [PDF]
Background: The Bacillus subtilis spore has long been used to display antigens and enzymes. Spore display can be accomplished by a recombinant and a non-recombinant approach, with the latter proved more efficient than the recombinant one.

The DPEase enzyme from Agrobacterium tumefaciens is more efficient and has a high activity in D-fructose. The dpe gene has been successfully cloned to Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pET-21b dpe but the enzyme has not been purified and its character is unknown. The intent of this study was to purify and assign of DPEase enzyme by recombinant E.

Exploring the Diversity of Sugar Compounds in Healthy, Prediabetic, and Diabetic Volunteers
A pilot study with a broad sugar profiling analysis during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in the healthy and diabetic state is performed. Overall, 40 sugar compounds, including rare sugars, are detected in human plasma. A range of sugars reveal similar characteristic changes as glucose during an OGTT.
