Production, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Exopolysaccharide from a Newly Isolated Weissella Cibaria under Sucrose Effect
Abstract
Weissella cibaria 27 (W27) is a new lactic acid bacterium which has been screened from kimchi, and is important in diary fermentation. This is first-attempt to understand the effects of sucrose and achieve the highest exopolysaccharide (EPS) productivity from W27. The metabolic compounds of lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol are at similar levels when the cultures with glucose or lactose; except for EPS is significantly increased up to 24.8 g/L with 60 g/L of sucrose. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal cell length changing shorter after sucrose addition. By Taguchi's approach, an L9 orthogonal array was adopted to evaluate the effects of culture were ranked according to the EPS production as temperature > time > initial pH, in which optimal conditions were at 22°C and pH 6.2 for 24 h. The major composition of EPS is dextran of α-1,6 glycosidic linkage with molecular weight of 1.2 x 10 7 Da by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) analysis. The surface property of W27 induced by sucrose is become more hydrophobic to better inhibit bacteria. The simple cultural approach for this new dextran producing strain, W27, has potential in the food, feed, antibacterial agent, and cosmetic industry.

Only a strain of Weissella cibaria isolated from kimchi produced up to 9.8 g/L of EPS in a dose-dependent way in response to high sucrose supplementation in the growing media.
“Yu et al. [73] revealed that only a strain of Weissella cibaria isolated from kimchi produced up to 9.8 g/L of EPS in a dose-dependent way in response to a high sucrose supplementation in the growing media.”

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.
