Lonvaud-Eunel, A., Strasser de Saad, A. M. (1982). Purification and properties of a malolactic enzyme from a strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides isolated from grapes. Appl Environ. Microbiol, 43, 357-361. 

Dextransucrases.—Dextransucrase has been purified from Leuconostoc mesenteroides and examined. The structures of dextrans enzymatically synthesized therefrom were studied by periodate oxidation. It was found that the content of (1 -> 6)-glucosidic linkages in synthesized dextran was raised considerably as the purification of enzyme proceeded, and that the content of branch links was increased by adding to the purified enzyme a fraction obtained from the culture broth of the organism by chromatography.
