General description

Inulinases are classified as exoinulinases and endoinulinases.

Application

Inulinase from Aspergillus niger has been used as a glycoside hydrolase (GH) to study its potential to disperse bacteria (P. aeruginosa and S. aureus) from microbial biofilms using a polymicrobial well-plate model.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inulinase is used in high-fructose syrup, which has therapeutic applications. Inulinase is reported to have high activity toward sucrose.
Inulinase hydrolyses inulin to produce oligosaccharides and liberate fructose. It also splits the terminal fructose units into sucrose and raffinose.

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which releases 1 μmol of reducing sugar (measured as fructose) per minute at pH 4.1 and 37°C from inulin

Glycoside hydrolases of families 32 (GH32) and 68 (GH68) belong to clan GH-J, containing hydrolytic enzymes (sucrose/fructans as donor substrates) and fructosyltransferases (sucrose/fructans as donor and acceptor substrates). In GH32 members, some of the sugar substrates can also function as

An inulinase-producing Microbulbifer sp. strain, JAM-3301, was isolated from a deep-sea sediment. An inulin operon that contained three open reading frames was cloned and sequenced. Two of the three genes were expressed. One product was an endo-inulinase, and the other
