Comparative study of rebaudioside A and rebaudioside Aα: physicochemical properties and in vivo metabolism [PDF]
npj Science of FoodStevioside (ST) and rebaudioside A (Reb A) are 250 times sweeter than sucrose, but their bitterness and low water solubility limit their application. Rebaudioside Aα (Reb Aα) was synthesized using dextransucrase.

pH dependent effects of sodium ions on dextransucrase activity in Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019 Dextransuccrase (E.C 2.4.1.5) is a key enzyme in S. mutans for the metabolism of sucrose which helps in the adherence and accumulation of bacteria on tooth surface leading to the formation of dental caries.

Co-immobilization of dextransucrase and dextranase in alginate
Process Biochemistry, 2010 Abstract Dextransucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides and dextranase from Penicillium lilacinum were co-immobilized and used to produce isomaltooligosaccharides from sucrose. The enzymes were co-immobilized by encapsulating soluble dextransucrase and dextranase covalently attached to Eupergit C in alginate (beads, fibers, and capsules).

THE JOURNAL OF VITAMINOLOGY, 1965 1. Cell-free extracts prepared from strains of Leuc. mesenteroides grown on sucrose were found to reveal the production of riboflavinylglucoside from sucrose and riboflavin. Moreover, it was found that the extract utilized only sucrose as a glucosyl donor in the formation of riboflavinylglucoside, while glucose itself was quite ineffective.2.

Screening of a dextransucrase inhibitor. [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1982 A screening method for inhibitory activity against Streptococcus mutans dextransucrase (EC 2.4.1.5) was devised and applied to culture broths of microorganisms isolated from soil and sea water. Of about 7,000 tested, only one strain, identified as a species of Streptomyces neyagawaensis on the basis of morphological and physiological studies, was found
