Studies on Amylolytic Enzymes Produced byEndomycessp

Part III. Hydrolysis of Starch and Glucosyl Saccharides with Amyloglucosidase

抄録

Various saccharides were hydrolyzed with the purified amyloglucosidase ofEndomycessp. IFO 0111.
Glucose was the only reducing product in the digest of soluble starch. The amyloglucosidase could hydrolyze starch and amylose only incompletely though it had the ability to split α-D-(1→16) bonds and hydrolyzed amylopectin and glycogen to high extents.
It hydrolyzed malto-oligosaccharides by stepwise removal of glucose units from the nonreducing end of the molecules.
