Production of isomalto-oligosaccharides by cell bound α-glucosidase of Microbacterium sp.

Transgalactosylation of lactose for synthesis of galacto-oligosaccharides using Kluyveromyces marxianus NCIM 3551

“…This analysis indicated the presence and accessibility of a variety of a-and b-glucosidase activity with whole cells that can be used in biotransformation activities. Such activities have been reported to be used for synthesis of alkyl a-glucosidases [18], alkyl b-glucosides [19] and gluco-oligosaccharides [20] using different bacterial and yeast systems. Since the objective of the present study was to synthesize GOS, lactose was used as a substrate.…”

Heterologous Expression of a Thermostable α-Glucosidase from Geobacillus sp. Strain HTA-462 by Escherichia coli and Its Potential Application for Isomaltose–Oligosaccharide Synthesis

“…Isomaltose, panose, isomaltotriose and tetrasaccharides are defined as the main functional components of IMOs [2]. As functional oligosaccharides, which are non-digestible in nature, IMOs have the function of regulating intestinal flora by promoting the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the human intestinal tract [3], and also have the additional properties of: low caloric value [4], the promotion of gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the improvement of constipation and lipid metabolism [5,6]. Based on these functions, IMOs are widely utilized as prebiotics, food additives and feed ingredients [7,8,9,10].…”

Acceptor specificity of amylomaltase from Corynebacterium glutamicum and transglucosylation reaction to synthesize palatinose glucosides

“…And isomaltooligosaccharides with prebiotic activity were produced by transglucosylation reaction of ␣-glucosidase from Microbacterium sp. using maltose as substrate [31]. However, for palatinose, only one report on the synthesis of palatinose glucosides has been found.…”
