Comparative study of the cyclization reactions of three bacterial cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferases.

abstract：:Dextransucrase production by Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-512F in media containing carbon sources other than sucrose is reported for the first time. Dextransucrases were analyzed by gel electrophoresis and by an in situ activity assay. Their polymers and acceptor reaction products were also compared by (13)C nucle...
