General description
Dextranase from fungi belong to the glycoside hydrolase families (GH) 49. Dextranase from Penicillium sp. are stable at varying temperature and pH.
Application
Dextranase from Penicillium sp has been used:
- in the digestion of exopolysaccharides from P. aeruginosa biofilms and dextran polymers
- as a component of trypticase soy broth (TSYPS) for Streptococcus mutans culture
- in microgel degradation
Biochem/physiol Actions
An endodextranase that hydrolyzes -(1,6)-glucosidic linkages in dextran. Dextrans are undesirable compounds synthesized from sucrose by microbial contaminants during sugar production that increase viscosity of the flow and decrease industrial recovery. Dextranase has been used for hydrolyzing dextran at sugar mills in order to improve efficiency of sugar production.
Unit Definition
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of isomaltose (measured as maltose) per min at pH 6.0 at 37 °C, using dextran as substrate.
