Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for preparing an antitumor dextran by contacting a culture broth containing sucrose with an antitumor dextran obtained from Lactobacillus confusus and collecting the antitumor dextran from the culture broth. The enzyme can be used as a crude enzyme solution or may be further purified by conventional means. The Lactobacillus confusus is preferably one of the following: 40-1 strain (FERM BP-2865) , 40-3 strain (FERM BP-2866) , 77-1 strain (FERM BP-2867), 78-1 strain (FERM BP-2868) or 80-1 strain (FERM BP-2869).
