Diversity of enzymes for exopolysaccharide synthesis in the fructophilic honeybee symbiont Apilactobacillus kunkeei.

BMC microbiology - 12 Jan 2026

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Apilactobacillus kunkeei is a fructophilic lactic acid bacterium adapted to honeybees, their food sources and products. These bacteria synthesize exopolysaccharides thought to promote host colonization and protection against toxic compounds and stressful conditions. Homopolysaccharides consisting of glucose residues are synthesized by enzymes in the glycoside hydrolase family 70 (GH70), whereas...
