Cloning and characterization of two new thermostable and alkalitolerant α-amylase from the Anoxybacillus species that produce high levels of maltose

Two genes that encode α-amylases from two Anoxybacillus species were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The genes are 1,518 bp long and encode 506 amino acids. Both sequences are 98% similar but are distinct from other well-known α-amylases. Both of the recombinant enzymes, ASKA and ADTA, wer...
