MIGLIORAMENTO IN E RELATIVO A UN ENZIMA PER DECOMPOSIZIONE DI UN CARBO-IDRATO AD ALTO PESO MOLECOLARE, IL CARBOIDRATO ISOLATO AD ALTO PESO MOLECOLARE, UN METODO PER LA SELEZIONE DI UN MICROORGANISMO PRODUTTORE DI TALE ENZIMA E UN METODO PER LA PRODUZIONE DI TALE ENZIMA

摘要

The enzyme, which is able to decompose a high molecular carbohydrate, abbreviated SPS (soluble polysaccaride), is designated SPS-ase. The SPS-ase is able to decompose SPS into decomposition products which attach themselves to protein in an aqueous medium to a lesser extent than the SPS prior to decomposition. The method for selection of SPS-ase producing microorganisms is based on the fact that the main carbon source of a growth medium is SPS and on a qualitative SPS-agar plate test. A method for production of an SPS-ase by means of a deposited strain of Asp. aculeatus is described. The SPS-ase also has utility in the fruit and vegetable industry and for production of juice and wine.
