Variability of Bacterial Homopolysaccharide Production and Properties during Food Processing
Various homopolysaccharides (HoPSs) can be produced by bacteria: α- and β-glucans, β-fructans and α-galactans, which are polymers of glucose, fructose and galactose, respectively. The synthesis of these compounds is catalyzed by glycosyltransferases (glycansucrases), which are able to transfer the m...
