چکیده
UEDA, SEINOSUKE (Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan), AND HARUYOSHI KONO. Polysaccharide produced by the genus Pullularia. II. Trans-a-glucosidation by acetone cells of Pullularia. Appl. Microbiol. 13:882-885. 1965.-Acetone cells of Pullularia sp. were incubated with maltose, and the saccharides produced were fractionated on a charcoal column. The fractions were subjected to paper-chromatographic analysis and enzymatic assay. By these methods, the saccharides have been shown to include glucose, maltose, maltotriose, panose, and the lower members of glucose polymers containing the 1,4and 1,6-a-glucosidic linkages, but neither isomaltose nor dextrantriose. The use of glucose oxidase results in the formation of the higher members of glucose

Role of pH and nitrogen limitation in the elaboration of the extracellular polysaccharide pullulan by Pullularia pullulans.
During the growth of the yeastlike fungus Pullularia pullulans on glucose as sole carbon source, the cell-mass does not increase concomitantly with the elaboration of the extracellular polysaccharide pullulan, but precedes it. The conditions generated in the culture medium which activate the secretion of polysaccharide have been sought for, and, in particular, the roles of extracellular pH and ...

In the present study, properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) such as average size, size distribution andmorphology were investigated by Tollens, polysaccharide, modified polysaccharide and microbial methods.The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamics light scatterin...
متن کاملThe Study on Microbial Polymers: Pullulan and PHB
Microbial cells are producers of natural polymers present in plant cells. Production of pullulan (an extracellular microbial polysaccharide) by Aureobasidium pullularia pullulans (P. pullulans) was studied under fermentation conditions, and kinetic parameters were determined. Pullulan formation obeyed a growth and non-growth associated term. PHB (polyhydroxybutyrates) an intracellular biopo...
متن کاملStructural and functional properties of the Trichosporon asahii glucuronoxylomannan.
The virulence attributes of Trichosporon asahii are virtually unknown, despite its growing relevance as causative agent of superficial and invasive diseases in humans. Glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) is a well described virulence factor of pathogenic species in the Cryptococcus genus. GXM is also produced by species of the Trichosporon genus, and both polysaccharides share antigenic determinants, but...
متن کاملTransglucosidase activity of rumen strains of Streptococcus bovis; structure of the dextran produced from sucrose.
Many extensive studies have been made on the glucose polymers, known as dextrans, whichare produced from sucrose by the transglucosidase activity of species in the genus Leucomostoc. Less work has been described, however, on similar polysaccharides produced from sucrose by streptococcal species. Niven, Smiley & Sherman (1941) reported that various strains of Streptococcus bovis, of unrecorded o...
