Abstract

Water-soluble glucan was produced by mutants of E. coli BL21(DE)/CrdS-F and E. coli BL21(DE)/CrdS-C in a fermentor. Mutants of E. coli BL21(DE)/CrdS-F which has putative ${\beta}-1,3-glucan$ synthase catalytic subunit (gi:40556679) gene and E. coli BL21(DE)/CrdS-C which contains the active catalytic domain of partial curdlan synthase gene. The molecular weight of water-soluble glucan was analysed with HPLC.
