RESUMO
Lactobacillus acidophilus 5e2 when grown on skimmed milk, skimmed milk supplemented with sodium formate and skimmed milk supplemented with glucose secretes a branched heteropolysaccharide having a weight average molecular weight less than 450 kDa. The exopolysaccharide has a heptasaccharide repeat unit and is composed of D-glucose, D-galactose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in the molar ratio 3:3:1. Using chemical techniques and 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy the polysaccharide has been shown to possess the following repeat unit structure:

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB2074 when grown in skimmed milk secretes a highly branched exopolysaccharide. The exopolysaccharide has a heptasaccharide repeat unit and is composed of glucose and galactose in the molar ratio 3:4. Using chemical techniques and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy the polysaccharide has been shown to possess the following repeat unit structure: [carbohydrate structure: see text].

The exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus EU23 was perdeuteriomethylated and the perdeuteriomethylated EPS (pdm-EPS) purified by elution from a C(18) Sep-Pak cartridge. Both 1D and 2D NMR spectra were recorded for the pdm-EPS and these were interpreted to provide assignments for the individual 1H and 13C resonances of the sugar residues of the repeating unit. Using a combination of the results from monomer analysis and linkage analysis of the native EPS and the ROESY and HMBC NMR spectra of the pdm-EPS the following structure has been determined for the repeating unit:A process for characterising polysaccharides having low solubility in aqueous solution is reported.
