Biosynthesis of Dextran by Weissella confusa and Its In Vitro Functional Characteristics
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this study was to monitor the influence of the fermentation conditions on the exopolysaccharides (EPS) biosynthesis. For this, different culture media compositions were tested on an isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain, identified by 16S rDNA sequence as being Weissella confusa. It was proved that this bacterial strain culture in MRS medium supplemented with 80g/L sucrose and dissolved in UHT milk produced up to 25.2g/L of freeze-dried EPS, in static conditions, after 48h of fermentative process. Using FTIR and NMR analysis, it was demonstrated that the obtained EPS is a dextran. The thermal analysis revealed a dextran structure with high purity while GPC analysis depicted more fractions, which is normal for a biological obtained polymer. A concentration up to 3mg/mL of dextran proved to have no cytotoxic effect on normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF). Moreover, at this concentration, dextran breaks up to 70% of the biofilms formed by the Candida albicans SC5314 strain, and has no antimicrobial activity against standard bacterial strains. Due to their characteristics, these EPS are suitable as hydrophilic matrix for controlled release of drugs in pharmaceutical 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.
