Abstract
Aureobasidium sp. ATCC 20524 produced a glucosyl-transferring enzyme which produced panose (O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1»6)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1»4)-d-glucose) from maltose. Optimum production for the enzyme was with maltose at 2% (w/v) and yeast extract at 1.5% (w/v). Enzymatic activity reached 0.7×103 U/g dry cells after 48 h.
