Some physicochemical and rheological properties of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Pediococcus parvulus 2.6 were examined. Structural characterization by NMR (H-1 and 2D-COSY) showed that the same EPS, a 2-substituted (1,3)-beta-D-glucan, was synthesized irrespective of sugar source used for growth (glucose, fructose, or maltose). The molecular masses of these beta-glucans were always very high (> 10(6) Da) and influenced by the culture medium or sugar source. The steady shear rheological experiments showed that all concentrations of the P-glucan aqueous solutions exhibited a pseudoplastic behavior at high shear rates. Viscoelastic behavior of P-glucan solutions was determined by dynamic oscillatory analysis. A critical concentration of 0.35% associated with the appearance of entanglements was calculated. The P-glucan adopts an ordered hydrogen bond dependent helical conformation in neutral and slightly alkaline aqueous solutions, which was partly denatured under more alkaline conditions.
