Action of Levan Fructotransferase of Arthrobacter ureafaciens on a Mixture of Branched Levanpentasaccharides

The levan fructotransferase of Arthrobacter ureafaciens has been reported to produce, in addition to di-D-fructofuranose 2, 6':2', 6 dianhydride (difructose anhydride IV) as the main product, a significant amount of 1-O- beta -D-fructofuranosyl difructose anhydride IV from levan. To invest...

Summary:The levan fructotransferase of Arthrobacter ureafaciens has been reported to produce, in addition to di-D-fructofuranose 2, 6':2', 6 dianhydride (difructose anhydride IV) as the main product, a significant amount of 1-O- beta -D-fructofuranosyl difructose anhydride IV from levan. To investigate the formation of this trisaccharide, the possibility of its enzymatic formation from a mixture of branched levanpentasaccharides was examined.
