Abstract

SummaryLevans formed in sucrose and raffinose broth by B. subtilis, B. panis, 5 other strains of Bacillus, and 3 strains of non-sporulating Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria possessed serological properties similar to those previously described for the levans of several strains of S. salivarius and of one strain of Bacillus. This evidence extends the serological information on the levari class of bacterial polysaccharide and gives a better basis for the application of serological procedures to the detection of bacterial levans both in laboratory culture fluids and In the various materials in which they occur in nature.
