Abstract

Dextran is a microbial polysaccharidet that is widely applied in pharmaceuticals and food industry.This paper reviews recent progress on enzymatic synthesis of dextran involving mechanism,optimization of dextransucrase,production control and modulation.Difficulties in elucidating the mechanism as well as enhancing the quality of dextran were also discussed.The paper also points out the orientation of future research and development of dextran enzymatic synthesis,which might lie in the immobilization technology optimization and a new technology to develop new strain that uses glucose as a substrate for dextran enzymatic synthesis.
