BIOPOLYMER BASED ON LACTOCOCCUS LACTIS NRRL B-30656, PROCESS FOR CULTURING LACTOCOCCUS LACTIS NRRL B-30656, AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE BIOPOLYMER

摘要

A microorganism isolated from soil has been identified as being a strain of Lactococcus lactis, NRRL B-30656, which, when grown in a sucrose-containing medium, produces an extracellular enzyme transferase that can produce a glucose and fructose biopolymer when purified and placed in a sucrose-containing medium under suitable temperature and pH conditions.
