NOVEL ENZYME COMPOSITIONS, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND UTILIZATION OF THE SAME

摘要

This invention relates to a novel microorganism-derived enzyme having an activity to cut disaccharide glycosides (particularly, beta -primeveroside and/or analogous disaccharide glycosides) in disaccharide unit, a method for producing the enzyme, a gene which encodes the enzyme and use of the enzyme. Various components can be formed by the action of this enzyme upon disaccharide glycosides.
