D-Arabitol dehydrogenase (D-arabitol [Formula: see text]D-xylulose, D-arabitol:NAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.11) was found in the D-sorbitol-grown or D-mannitol-grown cells of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas coronafaciens, Sarcina aurantiaca, and Sarcina marginata. This enzyme was accompanied by D-sorbitol dehydrogenase. Activity of D-mannitol dehydrogenase (D-mannitol:NAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1) was also found in Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas coronafaciens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Sarcina marginata, and Sarcina aurantiaca. D-Mannitol dehydrogenase was produced from Lactobacillus brevis, L. pentoaceticus, L. gayonii, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides in fructose media. D-Fructose seemed to be essential for the enzyme production by L. brevis, but Leuconostoc mesenteroides produced an equal amount of the enzyme from D-glucose, D-fructose, or sucrose media. Mannitol was found to be effective for enzyme production in a shake culture of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and of L. brevis.

The dynamics of Leuconostoc mesenteroides bacteria growth and synthesis of exoplysaccharides when cultured on a medium containing whey and sucrose has been investigated. It was shown that exopolysaccharides were produced during the culture growth and the addition of sucrose increased in the productivity of those compounds without affecting their composition. Using the dynamic and static methods of light scattering, it was shown that sucrose as a medium component modified physicochemical properties of exopolysaccharides changing their structural and thermodynamic characteristics in aqueous medium, which affected their functional activity and determined the way of their most efficient use. kefir fungi, lactic acid bacteria, physicochemical properties of exopolysaccharides.
