Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for production of poly (α 1,3 glucan) from a renewable feedstock, for applications in fibers, films, and pulps. The effect of addition of tetraborate in increasing the yield of the desired end products, poly (α 1,3 glucan) and fructose, and decreasing formation of the undesired by-product leucrose.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A reaction solution for the synthesis of poly (alpha 1,3 glucan) comprising: a) at least one Streptococcus glucosyltransferase enzyme that synthesizes poly (alpha 1,3 glucan) from sucrose, wherein said glucosyltransferase enzyme comprises SEQ ID NO:1; b) tetraborate at a concentration from about 100 millimolar to about 150 millimolar; and c) sucrose, wherein the reaction solution pH is maintained from 6.85 to 7.75, whereby poly (alpha 1,3 glucan) i…
