“…This enzyme has been used for the degradation and saccharification of starch in the fields of food, bakery, paper, sugar and starch industries (Monfort et a., 1996;Pandey et al, 2000;Van der Maarel et al, 2002;Gupta et al, 2003). -Amylases distributes over bacteria, fungi, plants, invertebrates, and higher animals and many of these enzymes belong to glycoside-hydrolase-family 13 (GHF13) (Jensen and Olsen 1992;Henry et al, 1993;Iefuji et al, 1996;Le Moine et al, 1997;Koyama et al, 2000;Saxena et al, 2007;Tripathi et al, 2007;Hmidet et al, 2008;Elarbi et al, 2009;Nikapitiya et al, 2009). This enzyme plays a crucial role in the degradation of storage -glucan providing maltooligosaccharides and glucose, the most important carbon and energy sources in many organisms.…”
