Abstract

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) occur as capsules or as secreted slime. They represent a small fraction of today's biopolymer market with factors limiting their use being mainly associated with economical production. Efficient production and reduction in recovery costs requires knowledge of biosynthesis and adoption of appropriate bioprocess technology. EPS from generally recognized as safe food grade microorganisms, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), have potential as food additives or as functional food ingredients with both health and economic benefits. Many different heteropolysaccharides (HePS) are secreted by LAB regarding sugar composition and molecular size but they show few common structural features, which raises questions about the relationship between structure and texture. HePS are made by polymerizing repeating units formed in the cytoplasm. These are assembled at the membrane by specific glycosyltransferases (GTF) through the sequential addition of sugar nucleotides. The latter are delivered as building blocks and attached to the growing repeating unit that is anchored on a lipid carrier. After completion, the repeating unit is externalized and polymerized. The enzymes and proteins involved in biosynthesis and secretion are not necessarily unique to HePS formation. These processes involve a genetic organization that includes specific eps genes and "housekeeping" genes involved in sugar nucleotide biosynthesis. The intentional and controlled use of HePS from LAB or use of strains producing HePS in situ is important in the food industry. However, instability in production and variability of HePS yields are well documented. Therefore, a well understood optimized carbon flux and supply of sugar nucleotides, knowledge of the GTF, and the functional expression of combinations of genes from different origin into stable, industrial strains open interesting ways to polysaccharide engineering.

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.
