Abstract
The exopolysaccharide produced by lactobacillus paracasei 34-1 in semi- defined medium was found to be a heteropolymer, composed of D-galactose, 2- acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glactose, and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in molar ratios of 3:1:1. By means of deglycerophosphorylation, methylation analysis, and 1D.2D NMR studies (1H,13C, and31P) the polysaccharide was shown to consist of repeating units.
