AI Technical Summary
Existing industrial maltose amylases have insufficient enzyme activity under low-temperature conditions, resulting in low efficiency in low-temperature food processing and energy-saving industrial processes. Furthermore, the saccharification efficiency and fermentable sugar conversion rate are limited in traditional beer brewing, making it difficult to produce low-sugar, low-calorie, high-fermentation beer.
A new species of Gram-negative bacteria, strain D5-20, was isolated and screened from deep-sea microorganisms. This strain can secrete maltose amylase, which has the characteristics of low temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, salt resistance and divalent cation resistance, and maintains high activity. It is suitable for the biocatalysis of starch hydrolysis and sugar compounds in beer brewing and other processes.
It maintains high activity and good thermal stability under low temperature conditions, adapts to a wide range of temperatures and pH values, and remains stable, especially under acidic conditions and high-salt environments. It solves the bottleneck problems of saccharification efficiency and fermentable sugar conversion rate in traditional processes, and promotes the development of beer brewing technology towards controllable and designable modern food biotechnology.
