PRODUCTION OF ARABINOSE FROM BEET ARABINAN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an arabinose having inhibiting activities against disaccharide hydrolases in high yield by hydrolyzing a beet arabinan at a high hydrolytic limit. SOLUTION: An inoculum of Bacillus subtilis capable of producing a beet arabinan hydrolase capable of hydrolyzing a beet arabinan at a high hydrolytic limit with a high potency is cultured to afford a beet arabinan hydrolase, which is then used to hydrolyze the beet arabinan and produce an arabinose.
