Characterization of Levan Fructan Produced by a <i>Gluconobacter japonicus</i> Strain Isolated from a Sugarcane Processing Facility

During raw sugarcane processing, a significant portion of lost sucrose is attributable to microbial degradation. Sucrose consumption by many bacteria is also linked to the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) such as dextrans and fructans. These resulting EPS cause operational challenges during ra...
