Leuconostoc mesenteroides, a lactic acid bacterium, possesses a wide range of biocatalytic properties that are potentially useful in carbohydrate modifications. A number of industrially applied carbohydrate modifications are discussed. The use of Leuconostoc mesenteroides for production of dextran in whole cell fermentation, leucrose synthesis by dextran sucrase, mannitol fermentation with viable Leuconostoc mesenteroides cells, and the use of sucrose phosphorylase for synthesis of alpha-glucose-1-phosphate are discussed.
