LEVAN SUCRASE ENZYME, ITS PRODUCTION, MICROORGANISM PRODUCING THE SAME AND COMPOSITION CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a levan sucrase enzyme exhibiting an enzymatic activity in a wider pH range than that of a known enzyme and especially having stability in acidic pHs. ;CONSTITUTION: This acid-resistant levan sucrase enzyme is originated from a microorganism belonging to the genus Bacillus, and has a characteristic comprising exhibiting at a temperature of about 55°C and at a pH of 4.0 an enzymatic activity of at least 50% based on the maximum enzymatic activity measured at 55°C.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO
