fructosyl transferase producing microorganism and method for producing fructooligosacchariden and neofructooligosacchariden in its use

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel microorganism and a method for producing fructooligosaccharides and neofructooligosaccharides. More particularly, the present invention relates to Penicillium citrinum KCTC 10225BP of soil origin which produces fructosyl transferase and hydrolyzes sucrose into fructooligosaccharides of the following formula I: CHEM in which n is integer of 1 to 5, G represents glucose and F represents fructose, and neofructooligosaccharides of the following formula II: CHEM in which n is integer of 1 to 5, G and F are defined as above, at the same time using the fructosyl transferase, and to a method for producing simultaneously fructooligosaccharides and neofructooligosaccharides using said microorganism.
