Abstract
An overview is given of various biotechnical carbohydrate modification s. Fermentation and bioconversion processes, based on carbohydrate sub strates for production of mono-, di- and oligosaccharides and the micr obial synthesis of various useful polysaccharides are discussed as wel l as the microbial/enzymatic hydrolysis of polysaccharides into valuab le oligomers or di- and monomeric sugars.
