| Abstract | The probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum DM5 isolated from fermented beverage Marcha of Sikkim was explored for its ability to produce extracellular glucansucrase during fermentation. The strain L. plantarum DM5 displayed glucansucrase activity of 2.71 U/ml (0.48 U/mg) at 27 °C under static condition. The medium compositions for glucansucrase production were optimized and it was found that K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$ (2.5 %, w/v), yeast extract (2.5 %, w/v), Tween 80 (0.6 %, v/v), and sucrose (5 %, w/v) enhanced the activity by 20 %, 22 %, 68 % and 230 %, respectively. Glucansucrase was purified using polyethylene glycol 400 and 1500 fractionation followed by gel filtration that gave specific activity of 18.7 U/mg with 40-fold purification. Purified enzyme exhibited maximum activity at 30 °C and pH 5.4. Zymogram analysis of purified enzyme confirmed the presence of glucosyltransferase of approximately 148 kDa. The V$_{m}$ and K$_{m}$ of purified glucansucrase for sucrose as substrate was 19.6 μmoles/mg/min and 4.5 mM. Divalent cations Mg$^{2+}$, Ca$^{2+}$ and Co$^{2+}$ enhanced glucansucrase activity by 16 %, 18 % and 19 %, respectively, whereas Hg$^{2+}$ and Mn$^{2+}$ decreased the enzyme activity by 81 % and 79 %, respectively, when assayed in presence of sucrose. Among stabilizers, dextran T-40, PEG 6000, PEG 8000, glutaraldehyde, glycerol, Tween 80 and acetonitrile; Tween 80 provided maximum stabilization with half-life of 86 days at –20 °C. The overall biochemical characterization reveals a promising novel glucansucrase that can compensate for the increasing demand of glucan as viscosifier and stabilizer in food industry. |

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.
