Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of levansucrase (LsdA) from Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 [PDF]
The endophytic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 secretes a constitutively expressed levansucrase (LsdA; EC 2.4.1.10), which converts sucrose to fructo-oligosaccharides and levan.

Functional roles of mannan and chitosan oligosaccharides on animal health and nutrition: A review
Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) and chitosan-oligosaccharides (COS) are low-molecular-weight carbohydrates with 2 to 20 monosaccharides associated with glycosidic bonds positioned among monosaccharides and polysaccharides.

Optimization of Enzymatic Production of Fructo-oligosaccharides from Sucrose
Conditions affecting the enzymatic production of high fructo-oligosaccharide syrup from sucrose by a commercial juice processing enzyme preparation containing high fructosyltransferase activity were investigated. After 14 h of reaction at 65 °C in 0.05 mol/L sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.6), the enzyme preparation, Pectinex Ultra SP-L, converted 450 g/L ...

Arabinoxylans, inulin and Lactobacillus reuteri 1063 repress the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli from mucus in a musosa-comprising gut model [PDF]
The microbiota that colonises the intestinal mucus may particularly affect human health given its proximity to the epithelium. For instance, the presence of the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) in this mucosal microbiota has been correlated with

In vitro fermentation of structural carbohydrate-rich feeds using faecal inoculum from pigs [PDF]
Seven feeds were tested in vitro using faecal inoculum from pigs. Sugar beet pulp, wheat bran, soybean hulls, grapecake, glutamic beet pulp, citrus by-product and fructo-oligo- saccharides (FOS) were fermented for 96 h.

Dietary sugars analysis: quantification of fructooligossacharides during fermentation by HPLC-RI method [PDF]
In this work, a simple chromatographic method is proposed and in-house validated for the quantification of total and individual fructooligossacharides (e.g., 1-kestose, nystose, and 1F-fructofuranosylnystose).
