Abstract excerpt
Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-512F has been mutated by treatment with N-nitrosoguanidine. The resulting mutant (designated as B-512FM) produces 300 times as much enzyme as the parent strain. B-512FM dextransucrase was treated extensively with Sigma crude dextranase, followed by column chromatography on Bio-Gel A-5m. The purified dextransucrase had a specific activity of 84 IU/mg, a 100-fold purification with...
