Abstract excerpt
Bacillus circulans IAM1165 produces isoforms of beta-1,3-glucan-hydrolases. Of these enzymes, the 42-kDa enzyme BgIM degrades Aspergillus oryzae cell walls the most actively. A gene coding for a BgIM precursor consisting of 411 amino acid residues was cloned. The 27 N-terminal amino acid sequence of the precursor is a signal peptide. The 141 C-terminal amino acid sequence showed a motif of carbohydrate-binding...
