Levan from Leuconostoc citreum BD1707: production optimization and changes in molecular weight distribution during cultivation
Abstract Background Levan is a well-known homopolymer of fructose composed predominantly of β-(2, 6) fructofuranosyl linkages in the backbone with occasional β-(2, 1) linkages in the branch chains with varied applications. However, high production cost due to low yield of microbial levan has become...
