  • Publication number: 20230383323
    Abstract: A strain of Paenibacillus sp. for fermenting wheat bran to synthesize an extracellular polysaccharide is disclosed. A weight-average molecular weight of the extracellular polysaccharide synthesized by the strain is 300,800 to 451,200 daltons, and the extracellular polysaccharide is an acidic heteropolysaccharide composed of glucuronic acid, glucose and fucose in a molar ratio of (1.55 to 1.60):1:(1.63 to 1.72); a backbone of the extracellular polysaccharide is composed of a 1,3-linked glucose residue, a 1,3-linked fucose residue, a 1,3,4-linked fucose residue and a 1,4-linked glucuronic acid residue, a branch point is located at a 0-4 position of the 1,3,4-linked fucose residue, and a branch chain is composed of terminally linked glucuronic acid residues, and the extracellular polysaccharide is composed of a repeating unit shown in Formula I. The extracellular polysaccharide has a certain immunomodulatory effect, and has a good application prospect in food, medicine and related fields.
