Application


Dextranase from Penicillium sp has been used:in the digestion of exopolysaccharides from P. aeruginosa biofilms and dextran polymersas 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.


General description


Dextranase from fungi belong to the glycoside hydrolase families (GH) 49. Dextranase from Penicillium sp. are stable at varying temperature and pH.
