METHOD FOR MICROBIAL PRODUCTION OF DIFRUCTOSE ANHYDRIDE III, MICRO-ORGANISM USED THEREFOR AND ENZYME WITH INULASE II ACTIVITY AND DNA SEQUENCES CODING THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the production of difructose anhydride III by enzymatic decomposition of inulase using an enzyme with inulase II activity. Said enzyme can be obtained from a microorganism of the Arthrobacter sp. Bu0141 species. The invention also relates to DNA sequences derived therefrom comprising a region coding for said enzyme in addition to plasmides and micro-organisms containing said DNA sequences.
