Abstract
The neutral exopolysaccharide EPS180 produced from sucrose by the glucansucrase GTF180 enzyme from Lactobacillus reuteri 180 was found to be a (1→3, 1→6)-α-d-glucan, with no repeating units present. Based on linkage analysis, periodate oxidation, and 1D/2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of the intact EPS180, as well as MS and NMR analysis of oligosaccharides obtained by partial acid hydrolysis of EPS180, a composite model, that includes all identified structural features, was formulated as follows:
