应用

Levan from Erwinia herbicola has been used as a:

• standard for the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis of levan produced by Bacillus licheniformis NS032 in sugar beet molasses-based medium
• polysaccharide substrate to test the ability of Prevotella copri isolates to grow when polysaccharides were provided as the sole carbon source in vitro
• substrate in levanase activity assay
