Industrial enzyme market has been projected to reach US $6.2 billion by 2020. Major
reasons for continuous rise in the global sales of microbial enzymes are because of …

As member of glycosyl hydrolase family 13, maltooligosaccharide-forming amylases
(MFAses) are specific and interesting because of their capacity to hydrolyze starch into …

Thirty-one bacterial isolates out of 133 isolates, were obtained from rhizosphere of Egyptian
clover plants, and had variant capability for starch degradation on starch agar medium. The …

Aspergillus oryzae S2 was assayed for alpha-amylase production under solid state
fermentation (SSF). In addition to AmyA and AmyB already produced in monitored …

A new fungal strain that was isolated from old sweet soy sauce was identified, based on
subsequent microscopic studies and analyses of rRNA18S gene sequence, intergenic …

Maltooligosaccharides (MOS) are homooligosaccharides that consist of 3–10 glucose
molecules linked by α-1, 4 glycosidic bonds. As they have physiological functions, they are …

Background Alkaline α-amylases have potential applications for hydrolyzing starch under
high pH conditions in the starch and textile industries and as ingredients in detergents for …

An amylase (est. Mw 150kDa) was purified 27.39-folds from the culture broth of Bacillus
megaterium VUMB109. The purified enzyme was not inhibited by p-chloromercuro benzoate …

In this study, the thermostability of an alkaline α-amylase from Alkalimonas amylolytica was
significantly improved through structure-based rational and the introduction of multiple …

Two genes that encode α-amylases from two Anoxybacillus species were cloned and
expressed in Escherichia coli. The genes are 1,518 bp long and encode 506 amino acids …
