Han YW, Clarke MA
Production and characterization of microbial levan
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 38(2) (1990) 393-396
 

A levan-producing bacterium was isolated from soil. Cultural and physiological characteristics of the isolate identified the organism as a strain of Bacillus polymyxa. The organism's characteristics for polysaccharide synthesis were studied. The bacterium produced polysaccharide in high yield when grown on sucrose solution. Hydrolysis and subsequent analysis showed the product to consist entirely of D-fructose. 13C NMR and methylation analyses indicated the product to be a β(2→6)-linked polymer of fructose, with 12% branching. The polysaccharide has a molecular weight of about 2 million and is readily soluble in water.

Park JK, Khan T
Other microbial polysaccharides: pullulan, scleroglucan, elsinan, levan, alternant, dextran
Book: Handbook of Hydrocolloids (2009) Chapter 21, 592-614
 

Other microbial polysaccharides (pullulan, scleroglucan, elsinan, levan, alternan, dextran) deals with the miscellaneous polysaccharides possessing important and potential applications in the food industry. It provides a comprehensive but concise description of all these microbial polysaccharides. The chapter begins with an introductory section which gives a brief overview of the polysaccharides. This section is followed by respective sections for each of the individual polysaccharides. Each of these sections discuss the origin and manufacture, chemical structure, functional properties, technical data, uses and applications and regulatory status of each polysaccharide. The chapter concludes with the future prospects of these polysaccharides

Dextran, levan, pullulan, scleroglucan, elsinan, alternan
