|
| Authors: | Wendy A. Good and Paul A. Hartman |
| Abstract: | Halobacterium halobium amylase had optimal activity at pH 6.4 to 6.6 in sodium beta-glycerophosphate buffer containing 0.05% NaCl at 55 C; Ca(2+) was not required. End products from amylose were maltose, maltotriose, and glucose. The amylase, which was devoid of transglucosylase activity, had a multichain attack mechanism. |
