- The enzyme is synthesised by bacteria present in the colon and after DEX degradation, the by-products are excreted by the kidneys according to the fragments’ molecular weights.
Dextran is now produced from sucrose by certain lactic acid bacteria of the family lactobacillus. Species include Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Streptococcus mutans. The structure of dextran produced depends not only on the family and species of the bacterium but on the strain.

Its volume of distribution is throughout the blood volume of the body. By expanding blood volume, dextran increases cardiac output and blood flow so that red blood cells can effectively circulate to end-organ microvasculature.

Dextran is an extracellular bacterial polysaccharide produced by lactic acid bacteria through the fermentation of sucrose.
Dec 10, 2021 · Dextran is a polysaccharide comprised of d-glucopyranose (d-glucose) repeating units linked through glycosidic linkages. It is biocompatible, biodegradable, and presents antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Dextran functional hydroxyl (–OH) groups offer an easy point for chemical conjugation with other materials.
