Heat resistant maltose phosphorylase, process for preparation thereof, bacteria used for preparation thereof, and methods for using the enzyme

摘要

This invention relates to heat resistant maltose phosphorylase having an activity of 80% or more of the one untreated after treated in a buffer of pH 6.0, at one temperature of 50 DEG to 60 DEG C. for 15 minutes, a process for preparation thereof, bacteria used for preparation thereof, and processes for preparation of beta -glucose-1-phosphoric and trehalose using the enzyme. By carrying out enzymatic reaction at high reaction temperatures using this enzyme, it is possible to prepare beta -glucose-1-phosphoric acid or trehalose industrially advantageously, with lowering of contamination with various germs and shortening of reaction time.
