Identification of an Amylomaltase from the Halophilic Archaeon <i>Haloquadratum walsbyi</i> by Functional Metagenomics: Structural and Functional Insights

Amylomaltases are prokaryotic 4-α-glucanotransferases of the GH77 family. Thanks to the ability to modify starch, they constitute a group of enzymes of great interest for biotechnological applications. In this work we report the identification, by means of a functional metagenomics screening of the...
