  • Title: Characteristics of Raw Starch-Digesting α-Amylase of Streptomyces badius DB-1 with Transglycosylation Activity and Its Applications.
    Author: Shivlata L, Satyanarayana T.
    Journal: Appl Biochem Biotechnol; 2017 Apr; 181(4):1283-1303. PubMed ID: 27787770.
    Abstract:
    Streptomyces badius DB-1 produces α-amylase extracellularly, and its production was enhanced 5.1-fold (from 9.47 ± 0.51 to 48.23 ± 1.45 U mL-1) due to optimization by one-variable-at-a-time and statistical approaches. Soluble starch emerged as the most influential factor that strongly affected enzyme production. The purified enzyme is a monomer with a molecular mass of ~57 kDa and optimally active at 50 °C and pH 6.0. The enzyme hydrolyzes soluble as well as raw starches into simpler sugars with a high proportion (>40.0 %) of maltotetraose. It is optimally active at moderate temperature and generates maltooligosaccharides from starch, thus, useful as an antistale in bread making. It also plays a role in increasing the formation of maltooligosaccharides due to transglycosylation activity, thus, finds application in functional foods. This is the first report on the production of raw starch-digesting α-amylase by S. badius with transglycosylation activity.
