Levan is a fascinating β-(2, 6)-linked fructose polymer with an unusual combination of
properties characterized in this review. In nature, levan is synthesized from sucrose by a …

Levan is a homopolymer of fructose naturally obtained from both plants and
microorganisms. Microbial levans are more advantageous, economical and industrially …

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are an abundant and important group of compounds
that can be secreted by bacteria, fungi and algae. The biotechnological production of these …

Microbial glucan or exopolysaccharides (EPS) have caught an eye of researchers from
decades. The unique characteristics of EPS make it suitable for various food and …

Microorganisms synthesize intracellular, structural and extracellular polymers also referred
to as biopolymers for their function and survival. These biopolymers play specific roles as …

The novel levansucrase produced from Bacillus subtilis NRC1aza yielded two types of levan
L1 and L2 with different molecular weights 85.23 kDa and 31.95 kDa, respectively. The …

The thermal and functional properties of the levan produced by Bacillus subtilis from coconut
inflorescence sap and its application as an icing sugar replacer were studied. Differential …

The objectives of this work were to produce microbial levan using the microorganism
Bacillus subtilis natto CCT 7712, and to apply this levan in edible films based on cassava …

Paenibacillus spp. exopolysaccharides (EPSs) have become a growing interest recently as
a source of biomaterials. In this study, we characterized Paenibacillus polymyxa 2020 strain …

Levan polysaccharide is an industrially important natural polymer with unique properties
and diverse high-value applications. However, current bottlenecks associated with its large …
