Structural characterisation of a highly branched exopolysaccharide produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB2074

[Display omitted] Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB2074 when grown in skimmed milk secretes a highly branched exopolysaccharide. The exopolysaccharide has a heptasaccharide repeat unit and is composed of glucose and galactose in the molar ratio 3:4. Using chemical techniques and 1D an...

Description
Summary:[Display omitted] Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB2074 when grown in skimmed milk secretes a highly branched exopolysaccharide. The exopolysaccharide has a heptasaccharide repeat unit and is composed of glucose and galactose in the molar ratio 3:4. Using chemical techniques and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy the polysaccharide has been shown to possess the following repeat unit structure: ▪
