Abstract
The neutral exopolysaccharide EPS35-5 (reuteran) produced from sucrose by the glucansucrase GTFA enzyme from
Lactobacillus reuteri 35-5 was found to be a (1?4,1?6)-α-D-glucan, with no repeating units present. Based on linkage analysis
and 1D/2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of intact EPS35-5, as well as MS and NMR analysis of oligosaccharides obtained
by partial acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis, using pullulanase M1 (Klebsiella planticola), of EPS35-5, a composite model,
that includes all identified structural elements, was formulated as follows:
