A high molecular weight EPS of glucomannan nature was recovered and purified to get an yield of 2.8±0.5g/L from Lb. plantarum BR2 and it displayed potent antioxidant activity with 29.8% radical scavenging activity and 19% total antioxidant capacity. At 100µg/ml concentration, it is capable of inhibiting the alpha amylase activity by 10% and at 300µg/ml, it drastically inhibited the alpha-glucosidase activity by 67% which indicates its antidiabetic potential. More interestingly, at a concentration level of 0.1%, it reduced the cholesterol level by a margin of 45% in an in vitro assay. The sample didn't reveal any cytotoxicity against H9C2 normal cells indicating its potential for safe use as a food additive.

Unlabelled: This work engrosses the production and further chemical modifications of EPS produced by BR2 and subsequent evaluation of their biological properties showed greater antioxidant properties for the derivatives compared to its native unmodified form. Of the three derivatives, acetylated EPS (a-EPS), carboxymethylated EPS (Cm-EPS), and sulphated EPS (s-EPS), a-EPS exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging and total antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner. At all tested concentrations, a-EPS showed higher scavenging activity, and a maximum activity of 73.

Glycosyltransferases synthesize a variety of exopolysaccharides (EPS) with different properties by altering the type of glycosidic linkage, degree of branching, length, mass, and conformation of the polymers. The genome analysis of an EPS-producing, Lactobacillus plantarum BR2 (Accession No: MN176402) showed twelve glycosyltransferase genes, and the gene BR2gtf (1116 bp), annotated as an EPS biosynthetic glycosyltransferase was cloned into the pNZ8148 vector. The recombinant pNZ8148 vector along with pNZ9530, a regulatory plasmid, were electroporated to L.
