Abstract

The exopolysaccharide produced by a ropy strain of Pediococcus damnosus (2.6) in a semi-defined medium was found to be an homopolymer composed of D-glucose. On the basis of monosaccharide and methylation analysis, 1H, 13C, 1D and 2D NMR experiments the polysaccharide was shown to consist of repeating units with the following structure.
