Fructosyltransferases in plants: Structure, function and application: A review

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2023
Fructosyltransferases (FTs) are an important group of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of fructans in some plants and in a large number of microorganisms.

Stem carbohydrate dynamics and expression of genes involved in fructan accumulation and remobilization during grain growth in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes with contrasting tolerance to water stress. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) and water stress tolerance are scarcely known.

VALIDATION OF AN ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF 1-KESTOSE, GLUCOSE AND SUCROSE IN THE REACTION PRODUCTS OF A FRUCTOSYLTRANSFERASE

Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences, 2023
The enzymatic synthesis of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) from sucrose by the action of fructosyltransferases produces a mixture of different carbohydrates.

Regulation of Sucrose-Sucrose-Fructosyltransferase in Barley Leaves [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1991
The activity of sucrose-sucrose-fructosyltransferase (SST), a vacuolar enzyme strongly induced by light in excised leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), rapidly declined even in continuous light upon feeding of cycloheximide (CHI). The rate of decline was similar to that observed in light-treated leaves that were placed into darkness, in the presence ...

Cross-linked whole cells for the sucrose transfructosylation reaction in a continuous reactor [PDF]

Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are fructose oligomers beneficial to human health and nutrition for prebiotic sugars. Their production occurs by a transfructosylation reaction in sucrose molecules catalyzed by fructosyltransferase enzymes (FTase, E.C.2.4.1 ...

Fructooligosaccharides production by immobilized Pichia pastoris cells expressing Schedonorus arundinaceus sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2021
Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs)—fructose-based oligosaccharides—are typical prebiotics with health-promoting effects in humans and animals. The trisaccharide 1-kestotriose is the most attractive inulin-type FOS. We previously reported a recombinant sucrose:

The fructosyltransferase of Streptococcus salivarius [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1993
SUMMARYThe nature of the fructans produced by oral streptococci and the β‐D‐fructosyltransferases (FTFs) that synthesize them from sucrose are considered in this review. Models for the apparent unique surface expression and secretion of the FTF produced by Streptococcus salivarius are discussed in light of recent evidence obtained from the cloning and ...

Production of an Enzymatic Extract From Aspergillus oryzae DIA-MF to Improve the Fructooligosaccharides Profile of Aguamiel

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2019
Aguamiel is a natural sap produced by some species of agave plants, such as Agave salmiana, A. atrovirens, or A. angustifolia. It is a product with a high concentration of fructose, glucose or sucrose, although its composition may vary depending on the ...

Fructans Are Differentially Distributed in Root Tissues of Asparagus

Cells, 2020
Inulin- and neoseries-type fructans [fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and fructopolysaccharides] accumulate in storage roots of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.), which continue to grow throughout the lifespan of this perennial plant.

Engineering a heterologously expressed fructosyltransferase from Aspergillus oryzae N74 in Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris) for kestose production.

New Biotechnology, 2022
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are one of the most well-studied and commercialized prebiotics. FOS can be obtained either by controlled hydrolysis of inulin or by sucrose transfructosylation.
