The distribution and diversity of natural exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from sucrose by thirty heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria strains from French traditional sourdoughs was investigated. The EPS production was found to be related to glucansucrase and fructansucrase extracellular activities. Depending on the strain, soluble and/or cell-associated glycansucrases were secreted. Structural characterization of the polymers by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy analysis further demonstrated a high diversity of EPS structures. Notably, we detected strains that synthesize glucans showing amazing variations in the amount of alpha-(1-->2), alpha-(1-->3) and alpha-(1-->6) linkages. The representation of Leuconostoc strains which produce putative alternan polymers and alpha-(1-->2) branched polymers was particularly high. The existence of glucan- and fructansucrase encoding genes was also confirmed by PCR detection. Sourdough was thus demonstrated to be a very attractive biotope for the isolation of lactic acid bacteria producing novel polymers which could find interesting applications such as texturing agent or prebiotics.

D013395 Sucrose A nonreducing disaccharide composed of GLUCOSE and FRUCTOSE linked via their anomeric carbons. It is obtained commercially from SUGARCANE, sugar beet (BETA VULGARIS), and other plants and used extensively as a food and a sweetener. Saccharose
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D016695 Glycosyltransferases Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to an acceptor. Most often another carbohydrate molecule acts as an acceptor, but inorganic phosphate can also act as an acceptor, such as in the case of PHOSPHORYLASES. Some of the enzymes in this group also catalyze hydrolysis, which can be regarded as transfer of a glycosyl group from the donor to water. Subclasses include the HEXOSYLTRANSFERASES; PENTOSYLTRANSFERASES; SIALYLTRANSFERASES; and those transferring other glycosyl groups. EC 2.4.
