Structural analysis and optimised production of fructo- oligosaccharides by levansucrase from Acetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4
1999
Major fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) produced by levansucrase (EC 2.4.1.10) from Acetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 were characterised as 1-kestose and nystose by acid hydrolysis and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The highest yields of 1-kestose (481 mM; 241 g/l) and nystose (81 mM; 54 g/l) were achieved at initial sucrose concentration of 1754 mM (600 g/l), pH 5.5 and 40 °C. The synthesized FOS reached 50% (w/w) of total sugars in the reaction mixture, with a conversion efficiency over 70% (w/w) based on the amount of sucrose converted to 1-kestose.
