Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Trehalases have potential applications in several fields, including food additives, insecticide development, and transgenic plant. In the present study, we focused on a trehalase from the marine bacterium Zunongwangia sp., which hydrolyzes trehalose to glucose. RESULTS: A novel gene, treZ (1590 bp) encoding an α, α-trehalase of 529 amino acids was cloned from Zunongwangia sp., and TreZ was found to...
