Screening for Glucosyltransferase gene (gtf) from exopolysaccahride producing lactic acid bacteria
Glucosyltransferase (GTF) is an enzyme involved in exopolysaccharide (EPS) polymer synthesis in microbes. One example of EPS that has been used in pharmaceutical and medical application is dextran. Dextran has been used in conjugated-drug delivery system

Cloning and functional characterization of a fructan 1-exohydrolase (1-FEH) in edible burdock (Arctium lappa L.) [PDF]
Background We have previously reported on the variation of total fructooligosaccharides (FOS), total inulooligosaccharides (IOS) and inulin in the roots of burdock stored at different temperatures. During storage at 0°C, an increase of FOS as a result of

A quantification method was developed to determine the sugar components, either following addition or enzymatic treatment, in citrus fruit juices containing additional fructo‐oligosaccharides using midinfrared spectroscopy. For the quantification, we compared the results obtained by applying the simultaneous equation method, which uses very little ...

Purification, cloning and functional characterization of a fructan 6-exohydrolase from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]
Fructans, β2-1 and/or β2-6 linked polymers of fructose, are produced by fructosyltransferases (FTs) from sucrose. They are important storage carbohydrates in many plants.

Screening of microbial isolates for extracellular fructosyltransferase production
Fructooligosaccharides are gaining importance by leaps and bounce every day due to their low caloric value and accompanying health benefits for the consumer. Hence, newer potential sources for the fructosyltransferase (Ftase) enzyme are thoroughly scrutinized.

Comparative analysis of fructosyltransferases of lactobacilli [PDF]
Some lactobacilli from food fermentations express fructosyltransferases, enzymes enabling them the production of fructans and fructooligosaccharides from sucrose. The work presents a comparison of known and newly identified Lactobacillus fructosyltransferases. Sequence comparison and molecular modelling approaches revealed a similar structure of all of
