Leuconostoc mesenteroides  is a member of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with wide applications in the food and medical industries. Species in the genus  Leuconostoc  are catalase-negative and generally regarded as facultative anaerobic or aerotolerant organisms. Despite their extensive use in industry, certain issues concerning the aerobic life of  L. mesenteroides , e.g., the mechanism involved in the tolerance to oxygen, remain to be addressed. In this manuscript, a survival strategy employed by  L. mesenteroides  BD3749 in response to oxidative stress was elucidated. BD3749 cells cultivated in medium with sucrose available synthesized large amounts of exopolysaccharides, mostly consisting of insoluble EPS. When BD3749 cells were challenged with oxidative stress, the amount of insoluble EPS was greatly enhanced. The synthesized EPSs reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacterial cells and improved their survival during chronic oxidative stress. Another study showed that Gsy, a novel glucansucrase in the GH70 family that is induced by sucrose and up-regulated following exposure to oxygen, was responsible for the synthesis of insoluble EPS. Gsy was subsequently demonstrated to play pivotal roles in the formation of aggregates to alleviate the detrimental effects on BD3749 cells exerted by oxygen.
