Abstract excerpt
Dextransucrase producing Leuconostoc mesenteroides KIBGE IB-22 was subjected to mutagenesis by exposing the strain to UV irradiation. The dextransucrase produced by both the strains (wild and mutant) were characterized and the catalytic properties of both wild and mutant dextransucrase were compared. Among 42 mutants, KIBGE IB-22M20 exhibited 6.75 times increase in dextransucrase activity as compared to the wild...
