Abstract
Lactococcus lactis subsp. eremoris B891 grown on whey permeate produced an exopolysaccharide containing D-Gal and D-Glc in a molar ratio of 2:3. The p olysaccharide was partially O-acetylated. By means of HF solvolysis, O-deac etylation, enzymic modification, sugar linkage analysis and 1D/2D NMR studi es the exopolysaccharide was shown to be composed of repeating units with t he following structure: [GRAPHICS] (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
