Next to plants and fungi, some bacteria are able to produce β-glucan. In this study, two lactic acid bacteria species
Levilactobacillus brevis and
Pediococcus claussenii were investigated for their suitability for
in situ enrichment of sourdoughs. For this purpose, their adaptability, optimal conditions, and molecular background of β-glucan synthesis were determined. Postulated β-glucan degradation could not be demonstrated with the model organism
L. brevis. However, despite relatively low β-glucan yields, positive technological effects were obtained in sourdoughs and breads.
