Agave amica a potential model for the study of agavins metabolism
Scientific Reports, 2023 Fructans found in agave are called agavins, highly branched neo-fructans. They are essential on the yield and quality of Tequila production. The need for agave specimens with higher accumulation of agavins became essential before the growing demand of ...

Fructan from Erwinia herbicola [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 Levan production by strains of Erwinia herbicola is common, and this property has some taxonomic significance for species differentiation within the "herbicola" group. The extracellular polysaccharide elaborated by strain 403 was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and methylation analysis.

Fructan exohydrolase from grasses [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1993 SUMMARYIn grasses, fructan reserves are mobilized from vegetative plant parts during seasonal growth, after defoliation during grazing and from stems during seed filling. Well‐illuminated leaves show a diurnal pattern of fructan accumulation during the light and mobilization during the dark. In expanding leaves, fructans are accumulated in cells of the
