Studies on alkalophilic CGTase-producing bacteria and effect of starch on cyclodextrin-glycosyltransferase activity

The production of beta- and gamma -CD by CGTase from Bacillus firmus was studied, in regard to the effect of the source and concentration of starch on the yield of CD and CGTase activity. A cyclic activity of accumulation and consumption of beta -CD and gamma -CD occurred during the bacterial growth...
