Comparison of exopolysaccharide production by indigenous Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains in whey medium

چکیده
Two Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains NCDC 744 and NCDC 745 were evaluated for exopolysaccharides (EPS) production in whey and MRS medium. Paneer whey medium supplemented with 10% sucrose, 0.1 % yeast extract and 0.1 % K2HPO4 was found to be proferred medium for EPS production. Among two strains L. mesenteroides NCDC 744 produced significantly higher EPS (12.7 ± 0.24 gm/L) as compared to NCDC 745 (10.51 ± 0.18 gm/L). The EPS powder obtained from NCDC 744 after oven drying was white, crystalline, water soluble and contained 89.56 ± 0.37 % of total carbohydrate and 3.49 ± 0.14 % protein. Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) study revealed that the EPS from NCDC 744 was porous, compact and crystalline in appearance.

Production of Viscous Dextran-Containing Whey-Sucrose Broths by Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC 14935.
Viscous broths were produced by growing Leuconostoc mesenteroides on a medium containing whey supplemented with sucrose. When combined with similarly produced xanthan-containing broths, a synergistic increase in viscosity was observed.
متن کاملEvaluation of exopolysaccharide production by Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains isolated from wine.
Exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria are responsible for the alteration of wine and other fermented beverages. The potential to produce EPS was investigated for Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains isolated from Spanish grape must and wine. Most strains were able to produce EPS from sucrose containing media. Based on their EPS-producing phenotype and on their EPS monosaccharide c...
متن کاملProduction of Dextran by Newly Isolated Strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides PCSIR-4 and PCSIR-9
Different isolated strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides produce dextran compared with that of L. mesenteroides NRRL B-512 F. Among nine newly isolated strains, strains PCSIR-4 and PCSIR-9 produced dextran of different quality. Using these two newly isolated strains, the development of dextran coincided closely with the disappearance of sucrose. The yield of dextran increased during growth and m...

A study on the production of soluble and cell wall-bound glucansucrases (GS) and fructansucrases (FS) by Leuconostoc mesenteroides URE13 and L. mesenteroides Lm17 during their growth on media containing sucrose, glucose or fructose as a main carbon source was carried out. The changes in the enzyme activity, the assimilation of sugars and the formation of metabolites during the cultivation were ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Dextran Produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides from Date Fruit Extract
In the present study, the production of dextran from date extract and sucrose as carbon sources by the bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B512 (f) was investigated. In comparison to blue dextran (Mw≈2000 Da), dextran molecular weight was reduced (Mw2000 KDa). Flow behavior indices of dextran solutions from date extracts were investigated and rheological parameters were evaluated at concen...
