Abstract
The structure of a water-soluble levan produced by Streptococcus salivarius SS2 has been determined by means of various chemical and instrumental methods. Methylation and periodate oxidation studies demonstrate that the levan is comprised of D-fructofuranosyl backbone residues linked beta-(2----6) (about 70%) with beta-(2----1) branches (about 30%). 13C-N.m.r. spectral analysis of the polymer is consistent with the structure determined by chemical means.Entities:
