Screening for Glucosyltransferase gene (gtf) from exopolysaccahride producing lactic acid bacteria
Glucosyltransferase (GTF) is an enzyme involved in exopolysaccharide (EPS) polymer synthesis in microbes.One example of EPS that has been used in pharmaceutical and medical application is dextran.Dextran has been used in conjugated-drug Stencil and Cookie Cutter Sets delivery system as matrix.As a group of microbes producing EPS, lactic acid bacter
