Exopolysaccharides play an important role in the rheology and texture of fermented foods, and among these beta-glucans have immunomodulating properties. We show that the overproduction of the Pediococcus parvulus GTF glycosyltransferase in an uncapsulated Lactococcus lactis strain results in synthesis and secretion (300 mg liter(-1)) of a position 2-substituted (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan that has potential use as a food additive.
胞外多糖在发酵食品的流变学和质地方面发挥着重要作用,其中β-葡聚糖具有免疫调节特性。我们发现,在无荚膜乳酸乳球菌菌株中过量表达小嗜热栖热菌GTF糖基转移酶会导致合成并分泌(300毫克/升)2位取代的(1→3)-β-D-葡聚糖,该葡聚糖有潜力用作食品添加剂。
