Zygosaccharomyces bailii strain talf1 inulinases: a versatile tool for bioprocesses. In: FEMS'2013 - 5th Congress of European Microbiologists, Book of Abstracts, Leipzig, Germany, 21-25 July, 2013, 1 p.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/2267Fructans are one of the most abundant non-structural polysaccharides found in a wide range of plants. Inulin is a polydisperse fructan polymer composed by linear chains of b-2, 1-linked D-fructofuranose molecules terminated by a glucose residue through a sucrose-type linkage at the reducing end. Inulin or inulin-rich materials can be actively hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars (glucose and fructose) using inulinases and then further used within bioprocesses.engZygosaccharomyces bailii InulinasesBioethanolFossil fuelsBiodesulfurizationconference object
