Some novel producers of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases

摘要

Two Bacillus species and one Pseudomonas species isolated from soil samples showed good cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase activity, even when grown in simple media. The microorganisms are not pH sensitive and grow well in media containing only starch, a nitrogen source, and minerals. All elaborate the desired enzyme within 4 hours of culturing with growth being complete within about 24 hours.
