Utilization of Branched α-Glucans in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Extracellular enzyme synthesis in the genus Bacillus.

“…B. amyloliquefaciens is more distantly related to B. subtilis Marburg and secretes large amounts of liquefying a-amylase (286,332,348). Traditionally, a-amylase and the cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase of B. macerans were thought to be the only starch-degrading enzymes produced by the bacilli, but recently (3-amylases (119,199,261,295) and a-1,6-hydrolyzing, starch-debranching enzymes (104,234,322,323) have been detected in various species. Other extracellular carbohydrases from the bacilli include cellulases, hemicellulases, and a variety of (8-glucanases (Table 1).…”

Extracellular Isoamylase Produced by the Yeast Lipomyces kononenkoae

“…Several bacteria have been described as producers of isoamylase: Pseudomonas amyloderamosa (2), Cytophaga sp. (7), Escherichia coli (9), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (22), and Flavobacterium sp. (18).…”
