Lactic acid bacteria are known to produce extracellular polysaccharides such as a-glucan, levan, and inulin, which are promising for applications in food systems because of their prebiotic properties. In this work, a novel glucansucrase (GS) Gtf-DSM from Lactobacillus ingluviei DSM 14792 was recombinantly expressed and biochemically characterized as a dextransucrase capable of producing a dextran polysaccharide with four types of linkages, including 69% (alpha 1 -> 6), 24% (alpha 1 -> 3), 6% (alpha 1 -> 4), and 1% (alpha 1 -> 2). Intriguingly, the dextransucrase Gtf-DSM had a sequence identity of 99.3% with the reuteransucrase GtfO producing a reuteran with 21% (alpha 1 -> 6) and 79% (alpha 1 -> 4) linkages. Thus, the dextransucrase Gtf-DSM is a unique target for understanding the linkage specificity of GSs and the investigation of site-directed mutagenesis using Gtf-DSM and GtfO as templates is underway.
