Characterization of the Fructosyltransferase Gene of Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45 [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2000
ABSTRACT Oral actinomycetes produce fructosyltransferase (FTF) enzymes which convert sucrose into polymers of d -fructose, known as levans, and these polymers are thought to contribute to the persistence and virulence of the organisms.

RNA‐Based Biopesticides: Pioneering Precision Solutions for Sustainable Aquaculture in China

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 165-176, May 2025.
The Chinese dragon represents RNA biopesticides, which effectively counteract bacterial, viral, and parasitic threats, safeguarding aquatic life. This method is precise, focusing solely on harmful agents and sparing beneficial aquaculture species. Its innovative nature protects aquatic environments while reducing ecological footprint.

Towards a better understanding of the generation of fructan structure diversity in plants: molecular and functional characterization of a sucrose:fructan 6-fructosyltransferase (6-SFT) cDNA from perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) [PDF]

, 2017
The main storage compounds in Lolium perenne are fructans with prevailing β(2-6) linkages. A cDNA library of L. perenne was screened using Poa secunda sucrose:fructan 6-fructosyltransferase (6-SFT) as a probe.

Production of fructooligosaccharides and b-fructofuranosidase by batch and repeated batch fermentation with immobilized cells of Penicillium expansum [PDF]

, 2012
The production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and b-fructofuranosidase (FFase) by immobilized cells of Penicillium expansum was evaluated. In an initial stage, different low-cost materials including synthetic fiber, polyurethane foam, stainless ...

Fructosyltransferase Activities in the Leaf Growth Zone of Tall Fescue [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
High concentrations of water-soluble carbohydrates, mainly fructan, accumulate in the growth zone of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) leaf blades. We studied sucrose-hydrolyzing activities in the leaf growth zone because of their importance in carbohydrate partitioning.

Nutritional enhancement of animal feed and forage crops via genetic modification

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 327-342, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Introducing beneficial productivity and nutritional traits into food, feed and forage crops utilising the tools of biotechnology can lead to improvements via genetic modification that cannot be achieved by traditional plant breeding. The timelines and costs are significant, and the regulatory hurdles can lead to some promising traits failing ...

Development and Characterization of an Enzyme Membrane Reactor for Fructo-Oligosaccharide Production

Membranes, 2019
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are linear fructans comprising 2−5 fructose units linked to a terminal glucose residue. They are widely used as food and feed additives due to their sweetness, low calorific value, and prebiotic properties.

Using Natural Variation to Investigate the Function of Individual Amino Acids in the Sucrose-Binding Box of Fructan:Fructan 6G-Fructosyltransferase (6G-FFT) in Product Formation [PDF]

, 2018
Enzymes of the glycosyl hydrolase family 32 are highly similar with respect to primary sequence but catalyze divergent reactions. Previously, the importance of the conserved sucrose-binding box in determining product specificity of onion fructan:fructan ...
