摘要:
A non-reducing saccharide-forming enzyme and a trehalose-releasing enzyme, which have an optimum temperature in a medium temperature range, i.e., a temperature of over 40 or 45°C but below 60°C; and an optimum pH in an acid pH range, i.e., a pH of less than 7. The two-types of enzymes can be obtained in a desired amount, for example, by culturing in a nutrient culture medium microorganisms capable of producing the enzymes or by recombinant DNA technology.
摘要:
A recombinant enzyme, having a molecular weight of about 57,000-67,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE and a pI of about 4.1-5.1 on isoelectrophoresis, which converts maltose into trehalose and vice versa. Depending on the enzymatic conditions, the enzyme forms about 70 w/w % of trehalose when acts on maltose, while about 20 w/w % of maltose when acts on trehalose. The culture of a transformant, prepared by introducing into a host a recombinant DNA containing a DNA coding for the enzyme and a self-replicable vector, facilitates the industrial-scale production of trehalose.

A maltotetraose-forming amylase derived from a bacterium of the genus Pseudomonas (e.g. Pseudomonas stutzeri FERM BP-1682) has a relatively wide optimum- and stable-pH, as well as having a relatively high optimum- and stable-temperature.

摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide an α-isomaltosylglucosaccharide-forming enzyme, process of the same, cyclotetrasaccharide, and saccharide composition comprising the saccharide which are obtainable by using the enzyme; and is solved by establishing an α-isomaltosylglucosaccharide-forming enzyme which forms a saccharide, having a glucose polymerization degree of at least three and having both the α-1,6 glucosidic linkage as a linkage at the non-reducing end and the α-1,4 glucosidic linkage other than the linkage at the non-reducing end, by catalyzing the α-glucosyl-transfer from a saccharide having a glucose polymerization degree of at least two and having the α-1,4 glucosidic linkage as a linkage at the non-reducing end without substantially increasing the reducing power; α-isomaltosyl-transferring method using the enzyme; method for forming α-isomaltosylglucosaccharide; process for producing a cyclotetrasaccharide having the structure of cyclo{ ® 6)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 ® 3)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 ® 6)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 ® 3)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1®} using both the α-isomaltosylglucosaccharide-forming enzyme and the α-isomaltosyl-transferring enzyme; and the uses of the saccharides obtainable therewith.
