D-Fructans synthesized from sucrose by cell-free systems of strains ofStreptococcus mutansandStrep, salivariushave been shown by methylation and enzymatic studies to have different glycosidic linkages. The cold water-insoluble D-fructans fromStrep.mutansstrain BHT and JC-1 have inulin-type structures consisting β-(2↑1)-D-fructo-furanosidic linkages, with average repeating units of 8 and 27 sugar residues, respectively, whereas the water-soluble fructan fromStrep.salivariusstrain HHT has a levan-type branched structure consisting β-(2↑6)-D-fructofuranosidic linkages with an average repeating unit of 9 sugar residues. The solubility properties of these fructants are discussed on the basis of the structural differences.
