The full biotechnological exploitation of enzymes is still hampered by their low activity, low
stability and high cost. Temperature-dependent catalytic properties of enzymes are a key to …

Dextran, an α-glucan mainly composed of (α1→ 6) linkages, has been widely applied in the
food, cosmetic, and medicine industries. Dextranase can hydrolyze dextran to synthesize …

As an indispensable enzyme for the hydrolysis of dextran, dextranase has been widely used
in the fields of food and medicine. It should be noted that the weak thermostability of …

This study evaluated the ability of a dextranase from a marine bacterium Catenovulum
sp.(Cadex) to impede formation of Streptococcus mutans biofilms, a primary pathogen of …

The thermal stability of enzymes dramatically limits their application in the industrial field.
Based on the crystal structure, we conducted a semi-rational design according to the B …

Dental biofilms represent a serious oral health problem playing a key role in the
development of caries and other oral diseases. In the present work, we cloned and …

A gene construct encoding the mature region of Talaromyces minioluteus dextranase (EC
3.2. 1.11) fused to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SUC2 signal sequence was expressed in …

Dextran, a renewable hydrophilic polysaccharide, is nontoxic, highly stable but intrinsically
biodegradable. The α-1, 6 glycosidic bonds in dextran are attacked by dextranase (EC 3.2 …

A GH49 dextranase gene DexKQ was cloned from marine bacteria Arthrobacter oxydans
KQ11. It was recombinantly expressed using an Escherichia coli system. Recombinant …

Dextran has aroused increasingly more attention as the primary pollutant in sucrose
production and storage. Although enzymatic hydrolysis is more efficient and environmentally …
