Enhanced biosynthesis of dextransucrase: A multivariate approach to produce a glucosyltransferase for biocatalysis of sucrose into dextran.

The current study reported the statistically designed experimental method to enhance the biocatalytic efficacy of dextransucrase from Weissella confusa. Various environmental and nutritional parameters were optimized using multiple responses under submerged fermentation environment. Statistical models were constructed to screen the influence of nine factors on the biocatalysis of dextransucrase.
