| Abstract | Dextransucrase was produced from Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain MTCC 107. Maximum enzyme production was observed after 60 h of incubation, with drop in pH from 7.0 at 0 h to 5.5 at 60 h. The crude enzyme was subjected to ammonium sulphate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose anion-exchange chromatography. Three isoforms of dextransucrase viz. DS-I, DS-II and DS-III, each with optimum pH 5.5 and optimum temperature 45 °C were identified. Isoforms DS-I and DS-III were found to be thermostable between 10 and 60 °C while isoform DS-II was thermostable between 10 and 50 °C. The K$_{m}$ values (for sucrose as substrate) of the isoforms DS-I, DS-II and DS-III at their optimum pH and temperature were 206.34, 492.45 and 108.00 mM, respectively. Corresponding V$_{max}$ values were 428.08, 505.58 and 410.85 μmol reducing sugars produced/min/mg protein, respectively. The pK $_{a}$ values of ionizing groups obtained by using Dixon and Marangoni methods suggested the participation of Asp/Glu residues and His residues in both substrate binding and catalysis. Lineweaver Burk plots obtained by varying concentrations of dextran (as substrate) at fixed sucrose concentration were found to be biphasic for all the three dextransucrase isoforms, suggesting negative cooperativity. Both the transferase and sucrase activities of the dextransucrase isoforms were markedly inhibited by sodium lauryl sulphate, barium chloride, EDTA, potassium chloride, manganese chloride and sodium metasilicate. These metal salts/chemicals when exogenously added to sugarcane juice effectively reduced the dextran formation during storage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
