Abstract excerpt
The alpha-glucosidase of Bacillus sp. strain SAM1606 is a member of glycosyl hydrolase family 13, and shows an extraordinarily broad substrate specificity and is one of very few alpha-glucosidases that can efficiently hydrolyze the alpha-1,1-glucosidic linkage of alpha,alpha'-trehalose (trehalose). Phylogenetic analysis of family-13 enzymes suggests that SAM1606 alpha-glucosidase may be evolutionally derived from...
