Efficient Enzymatic Synthesis of a -(1-4)-glucosidic Disaccharides by Maltose Phosphorylase from Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM
A gene cluster involved in malLOse/ malLOdextrin metabolism was identified in the genome of Lac/obacillus aciilojJ/zilus and showed strong preference for monosaccharide acceptors with equatorial 3·0B and ,1·01,1 and reacted also with the 2·dcox~" amino sugars.
