Cereal-associated Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are well known for homopolymeric exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. Herein, the structure of an EPS isolated from sourdough isolate Lactobacillus brevis E25 was determined. A modified BHI medium was used for production of EPS-E25 in order to eliminate potential contaminants. Analysis of sugar monomers in EPS revealed that glucose was the only sugar present. Structural characterisation of EPS by NMR and methylation analysis revealed that E25 produced a highly branched α-glucan with (α1→3) and (α1→6) glycosidic linkages, and was similar in structure to a previously reported EPS from Lactobacillus reuteri 180. The H and C NMR data were contrasted with newly recorded data for known polysaccharides (alternan, commercial dextran) which also contain α-(1,3,6)Glc branch points. It was found in both E25 EPS and alternan that NMR parameters could be used to distinguish glucose residues that had the same substitution pattern but occupied different positions in the structure.

Şalgam is a traditional drink produced via the lactic-acid fermentation of vegetables (black carrot and turnip), sourdough, and bulgur flour; with rock salt also added. During storage, an additional yeast-mediated fermentation can occur, causing changes in organoleptic properties, as evidenced by the microbe-mediated release of gases. Here, we characterise şalgam as a microbial habitat, identify the yeasts that cause spoilage, and characterise yeast-induced changes of the şalgam.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their exopolysaccharides (EPS) have the potential to enhance the quality of flour-based products. This study investigated the effect of EPS produced by Ls5 on the quality of Mantou. LAB strains with high EPS production were isolated from traditional fermenters, and their characteristics and EPS properties were examined.
