The conditions in all fermentations were: total reaction volume 2 L, 132 rev. min-1, 0.5 vvm and pH 6.0. The optimum temperature for enzyme yield for strain NRRL B 512 ( F) was 23 degrees C, where at 8-h fermentation was possible to achieve 49.3 DSU/mL. When FT 045 B strain was utilized, 3.2 DSU/mL was obtained at temperature 23 to 25 degrees C.279-285engdextrandextransucraseLeuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B512 (F)Leuconostoc mesenteroides FT045 Btemperatureenzyme activityArtigoWOS:000234260400014Acesso aberto9859154979447005
