Abstract

The maltooligosyltrehalose trehalohydrolase (MTHase) mainly cleaves the α-1, 4-glucosidic linkage next to the α-1, 1-linked terminal disaccharide of maltooligosyltrehalose to produce trehalose and the maltooligosaccharide with lower molecular mass. In this study, the treZ gene encoding MTHase was PCR-cloned from Sulfolobus solfataricus ATCC 35092 and then expressed in Escherichia coli. A high yield of the active wild-type MTHase, 13300 ...
