A SUCROSE PHOSPHORYLASE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF KOJIBIOSE

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of the disaccharide kojibiose which is known to be a powerful prebiotic. The invention indeed discloses the generation of genetically modified sucrose phosphorylases which convert -via a transglycosylation reaction- sucrose into kojibiose in a very efficient manner. Hence, the present invention relates to a cost-effective production method of kojibiose which is useful within industry.
