Abstract
Leuconostoc mesenteroides DRP105 isolated from Chinese sauerkraut juice is an intensive producer of dextran. We report the complete genome sequence of Leu. mesenteroides DRP105. This strain contains a dextransucrase gene (dsr) involved in the production of dextran, possibly composed of glucose monomers. To explore the dextran synthesis mechanism of Leu. mesenteroides DRP105, we constructed a dsr-deficient strain derived from Leu. mesenteroides DRP105 using the Cre-loxP recombination system. The secondary structure prediction results showed that Leu. mesenteroides DRP105 dextransucrase (Dsr) was coded by dsr and contained 17.07% α-helices, 29.55% β-sheets, 10.18% β-turns, and 43.20% random coils. We also analyzed the dextran yield, monosaccharide change, organic acid, and amino-acid content of Leu. mesenteroides DRP105 and Leu. mesenteroides DRP105−Δdsr. The result showed that the lack of dsr changed the Leu. mesenteroides DRP105 sugar metabolism pathway, which in turn affected the production of metabolites.
