Native to designed: microbial α-amylases for industrial applications
Background. α-amylases catalyze the endo-hydrolysis of α-1,4-D-glycosidic bonds in starch into smaller moieties. While industrial processes are usually performed at harsh conditions, α-amylases from mainly the bacteria, fungi and yeasts are preferred for their stabilities (thermal, pH and oxidati...
