ABSTRACT When grown in glucose or fructose medium in the absence of sucrose,Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1299 produces two distinct extracellular dextransucrases named glucose glucosyltransferase (GGT) and fructose glucosyltransferase (FGT). The production level of GGT and FGT is 10 to 20 times lower than that of the extracellular dextransucrase sucrose glucosyltransferase (SGT) produced on sucrose medium (traditional culture conditions). GGT and FGT were concentrated by ultrafiltration before sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. Their molecular masses were 183 and 186 kDa, respectively, differing from the 195 kDa of SGT. The structural analysis of the dextran produced from sucrose and of the oligosaccharides synthesized by acceptor reaction in the presence of maltose showed that GGT and FGT are two different enzymes not previously described for this strain. The polymer synthesized by GGT contains 30% α(1→2) linkages, while FGT catalyzes the synthesis of a linear dextran only composed of α(1→6) linkages.

α-Glucans that were enzymatically synthesized from sucrose using glucansucrase cloned from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1118 were found to have a glass transition temperature of approximately 80 °C. Using high-pressure homogenization (~70 MPa), the α-glucans were converted into nanoparticles of ~120 nm in diameter with a surface potential of ~−3 mV. Fluorescence measurements using 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) indicate that the α-glucan nanoparticles have a hydrophobic core that remains intact from 10 to 85 °C. α-Glucan nanoparticles were found to be stable for over 220 days and able to form at three pH levels. Accelerated exposure measurements demonstrated that the α-glucan nanoparticles can endure exposure to elevated temperatures up to 60 °C for 6 h intervals.
