摘要:
A liquid starch solution suitable for saccharification into a maltose-containing product is obtained by suspending starch in water, adding to the starch suspension a heat resistant .alpha.-amylase and a buffer, adjusting the resultant mixture to a pH value in the range of from 7.5 to 8.0, and thermally treating the resultant starch milk while repressing possible hydrolysis of starch molecules.
摘要:
A microorganism which simultaneously produces .beta.-amylase and dextrin .alpha.-1,6-glucosidase is cultured. By use of the enzymes thus produced, starch is directly hydrolyzed into maltose in a high yield.

A liquid starch solution suitable for saccharification into a maltose-containing product is obtained by suspending starch in water, adding to the starch suspension a heat resistant .alpha.-amylase and a carbonate, adjusting the resultant mixture to a pH value in the range of from 7.5 to 8.0, and thermally treating the resultant starch milk while repressing possible hydrolysis of starch molecules.
摘要:
A method for the saccharification of a cellulosic material comprises the steps of culturing a microorganism of Acremonium cellulolyticus in a medium containing carbon sources and nitrogen sources, collecting a cellulolytic enzyme from the resultant culture broth, and causing the cellulolytic enzyme to act on the cellulosic material.
摘要:
A thermostable mannose isomerase generated from a bacterium belonging to the genus Agrobacterium, excellent in thermostability, capable of being continuously used at a temperature of 55° C. to 60° C. for a prolonged period of time, and has, for example, the following enzymatic properties: (a) function: converts D-mannose to D-fructose and vice versa; (b) substrate specificity: isomerizes the aldoses D-mannose and D-lyxose to their corresponding kitoses, but does not interact with D-glucose, D-galactose, L-mannose, D-xylose, L-xylose, D-arabinose, L-arabinose or D-ribose; (c) optimum pH: 7.5 to 8.5; (d) optimum temperature: 55° C. to 60° C.; and (e) stable pH: 6.0 to 10.0, is provided.
摘要:
A mannose isomerase having excellent properties for industrial use, such as high thermal stability and resistance to high substrate concentrations, can be produced by culturing a strain of Pseudomonas (sp. AM-9582), and extracting it from the cells of AM-9582. Mannose can be effectively produced from fructose of high concentrations using the enzyme.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel pullulanase, methods of producing and isolating the pullulanase and methods of saccharifying starch using the pullulanase. The pullulanase of the invention works in a wide pH range, as large as pH 4-9. In addition, the pullulanase is heat stable and its optimum temperature is about 60.degree. C. Therefore, the pullulanase of the invention can be used in the saccharification of starch along with amylase, which is enzymatically active at pH 4-9, to increase the yield of saccharides.
摘要:
Maltotetraose or maltose is specifically produced in a high yield from starch by causing an amylase produced by a microorganism of genus Bacillus circulans G-4 to act on the starch.
