A gene encoding a novel dextransucrase was identified in the genome of Oenococcus kitaharae DSM17330 and cloned into E. coli. With a kcat of 691 s(-1) and a half-life time of 111 h at 30 degrees C, the resulting recombinant enzyme -named DSR-OK- stands as one of the most efficient and stable dextransucrase characterized to date. From sucrose, this enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of a quasi linear dextran with a molar mass higher than 1 x 10(9) g.mol(-1) that presents uncommon rheological properties such as a higher viscosity than that of the most industrially used dextran from L. mesenteroides NRRL-B-512F, a yield stress that was never described before for any type of dextran, as well as a gel-like structure. All these properties open the way to a vast array of new applications in health, food/feed, bulk or fine chemicals fields.< Réduire
