柠檬明串珠菌的研究进展

摘要

Leuconostoc citreum is an important member of Leuconostoc genus with application potential i.e. production of polysaccharides including dextrans,and bacteriocins with antagonistic activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. In this article, the research progress in metabolites, genetics as well as present and potential application in fermented food of Leuconostoc citreum in update was reviewed.%柠檬明串珠菌（Leuconostoc citreum）是明串珠菌属的重要成员，可以合成胞外多糖如右旋糖苷、产生具有广谱抑菌作用的细菌素等，具有潜在的应用价值。概述1993~2013年间对柠檬明串珠菌在代谢产物、分子生物学以及食品行业应用方面的研究进展。
