ResumoThe exopolysaccharide produced by a ropy strain of Lactobacillus spp. G-77 in a semi-defined medium, was found to be a mixture of two homopolymers composed of d-Glc. The two polysaccharides were separated and, on the basis of monosaccharide and methylation analyses, 1H, 13C, 1D and 2D NMR experiments, one of the polysaccharides was shown to be a 2-substituted-(1–3)-β-d-glucan, identical to that described for the EPS from Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 (M.T.

Res., 303 (1997) 453–458), and the other polysaccharide was shown to consist of repeating units with the following structure Download : Download full-size image
