Leuconostoc dextransucrase and dextran: production, properties and applications
Abstract
This review covers the production, properties and applications of the biopolysaccharide dextran; this biopolymer can be produced via fermentation either with Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains and other lactic acid bacteria or with certain Gluconobacter oxydans strains. The former strains convert sucrose into dextran with the dextransucrase enzyme whereas the latter convert maltodextrins into dextran with the dextran dextrinase enzyme. Emphasis is mainly focused on Leuconostoc strains as producer organisms of dextransucrase and dextran types. In addition to industrial fermentation processes producing the enzymes and/or the dextrans, biocatalysis principles are also being developed, whereby enzyme preparations convert sucrose or maltodextrins, respectively, into (oligo)dextrans. The chemical and physical properties of different dextrans are discussed in detail, together with the characteristics and molecular mode of action of dextransucrase. Subsequently, useful applications of dextran and some problems associated with undesirable formation of dextran are outlined. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
