The exopolysaccharide succinoglycan is produced mainly by a large number of soil microbes of , or genera etc. Structural properties of succinoglycan are unique in terms of its thermal stability and superior viscosifying property. Unlike the other highly commercialized bacterial exopolysaccharides like dextran or xanthan, mass scale application of succinoglycan has not been that much broadly explored yet. Bacterial succinoglycan is found suitable as a viscosifying and emulsifying agent in food industry, in gravel packing or fluid-loss control agent etc. In this present review, the key aspects of succinoglycan study, in particular, developments in structural characterizations, / operon system involved in biosynthesis pathway, commercial applications in food and other industries and patenting trends have been discussed.
胞外多糖琥珀聚糖主要由大量属于根瘤菌属、土壤杆菌属或慢生根瘤菌属等的土壤微生物产生。琥珀聚糖的结构特性在热稳定性和优异的增粘性能方面独具特色。与其他高度商业化的细菌胞外多糖如葡聚糖或黄原胶不同,琥珀聚糖的大规模应用尚未得到广泛探索。已发现细菌琥珀聚糖适合作为食品工业中的增粘剂和乳化剂、用于砾石充填或降滤失剂等。在本综述中,讨论了琥珀聚糖研究的关键方面,特别是结构表征的进展、生物合成途径中涉及的基因簇/操纵子系统、在食品和其他行业的商业应用以及专利趋势。
