Abstract excerpt
To characterize novel variations of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by dairy strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and subsp. cremoris, the EPSs of five dairy strains of L. lactis were purified. Sugar composition analysis showed two novel EPSs produced by strains of L. lactis subsp. lactis. One strain produced EPS lacking galactose, and the other produced EPS containing fucose. Among the eps gene...
