Abstract
The neutral exopolysaccharide produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus LBB.B332 in skimmed milk was found to be composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, and L-rhamnose in a molar ratio of 1:2:2. Linkage analysis and 1D/2D NMR (1H and 13C) studies carried out on the native polysaccharide as well as on an oligosaccharide generated by a periodate oxidation protocol, showed the polysaccharide to consist of linear pentasaccharide repeating units.
