Abstract
Starch-converting α-glucanotransferases are efficient enzymatic toolkits for the biosynthesis of diverse α-glucans, which hold vast application potential in the food industry. In this work, we identified a novel GtfB protein from Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis TMW11304 (FsTMW11304 GtfB) in NCBI. Although this enzyme was highly conserved in motifs I-IV with those isomalto-maltopolysaccharides (IMMPs)-producing GtfB α-glucanotransferases, it possessed distinct deletions and mutations in two crucial loops shaping the active site. Hence, unlike those GtfB enzymes, FsTMW11304 GtfB not only exhibited excellent 4,6-α-glucanotransferase activity on amylose to generate atypically low-molecular-weight IMMPs with consecutive linear (α1 → 6) linkages up to 48 %, but also held good capability towards branched substrates. Besides, compared with the control, the treatment by FsTMW11304 GtfB reduced the storage/loss modulus of granular and gelatinized tapioca starches (TS) by 12.0 %/17.9 % and 91.4 %/82.9 %, respectively, indicating that the rigidity of the gel structure was attenuated to different degrees in the two reaction systems. Furthermore, the setback viscosity observed in the gelatinized TS modified by FsTMW11304 GtfB was only 5 % of that observed in the control group, suggesting the short-term anti-retrogradation property has been substantially improved. Thus, FsTMW11304 GtfB represents a meaningful addition to the α-glucanotransferases in GH70 family, which expands the repertoire of diverse α-glucans synthesized from starch and facilitates the understanding of the structure-function relationship of the GtfB α-glucanotransferases.

Abstract
Starch-converting α-glucanotransferases of glycoside hydrolase family 70 (GH70) are promising enzymatic tools for the production of diverse α-glucans with (potential) commercial applications in food and health and as biomaterials. In this study, a novel GtfB enzyme from Weissella confusa MBF8-1 was screened in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) nonredundant protein database. The enzyme (named WcMBF8-1 GtfB) displayed high conservation in motifs I-IV with other GtfB enzymes but possessed unique variations in several substrate-binding residues. Structural characterizations of its α-glucan products revealed that WcMBF8-1 GtfB exhibited an atypical 4,6-α-glucanotransferase activity and was capable of catalyzing, by cleaving off (α1 → 4)-linkages in starch-like substrates and the synthesis of linear (α1 → 6) linkages and (α1 → 4,6) branching points. The product specificity enlarges the diversity of α-glucans and facilitates recognition of the determinants of the linkage specificity in GtfB enzymes. Furthermore, the contents of slowly digestible starch and resistant starch of granular corn starches, modified by WcMBF8-1 GtfB, increased by 6.7%, which suggested the potential value for the utilization of WcMBF8-1 GtfB to prepare "clean-label" starch ingredients with improved functional attributes.

Abstract
Isomalto/malto-polysaccharides (IMMPs) derived from malto-oligosaccharides such as maltoheptaose (G7) are elongated non-branched gluco-oligosaccharides produced by 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (GtfB). However, G7 is expensive and cumbersome to produce commercially. In this study, a cost-effective enzymatic process for IMMPs synthesis is developed that utilizes the combined action of cyclodextrinase from Palaeococcus pacificus (PpCD) and GtfB-ΔN from Limosilactobacillus reuteri 121 to convert β-cyclodextrin into IMMPs with a maximum yield (16.19 %, w/w). The purified IMMPs synthesized by simultaneous or sequential treatments, designated as IMMP-Sim and IMMP-Seq, possess relatively high contents of α-(1 → 6) glucosidic linkages. By controlling the release of G7 and smaller malto-oligosaccharides by PpCD, IMMP-Seq was obtained of DP varying from 12.9 to 29.5. Enzymatic fingerprinting revealed different linkage-type distribution of α-(1 → 6) linked segments with α-(1 → 4) segments embedded at the reducing end and middle part. The proportion of α-(1 → 6) segments containing the non-reducing end was 56.76 % for IMMP-Sim but 28.98 % for IMMP-Seq. Addition of G3 or G4 as specific acceptors resulted in IMMPs exhibiting low polydispersity. This procedure can be applied as a novel bioprocess that does not require costy high-purity malto-oligosaccharides and with control of the average DP of IMMPs by adjusting the substrate composition.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that humans can taste maltooligosaccharides [MOS; degree of polymerization (DP) of 3-20] but not maltopolysaccharides (MPS; DP of >20) and that their taste detection is independent of the canonical sweet taste receptor. The objectives of this study were to determine the DP ranges of target stimuli that are tasted and further to investigate the impact of DP on taste detectability. To achieve this goal, we prepared three food-grade MOS samples with narrow DP ranges using flash chromatography: low (4-6), medium (7-12), and high (14-21) DP samples. Following sample preparation, we asked subjects to discriminate the MOS stimuli from blanks after the stimuli were swabbed on the tip of tongue. All stimuli were initially presented at 75 mM. Acarbose, an α-glucosidase inhibitor, was added to all stimuli, including blanks, to prevent oral hydrolysis of MOS. After determining that all three MOS samples were detected at a significant degree, we conducted follow-up studies to explore whether the detection of these samples differed at a range of concentrations (18-56 mM). The results showed that detection rates of medium- and high-DP MOS varied in a concentration-dependent manner (p < 0.05). In contrast, low-DP MOS showed a consistent detection rate across concentrations tested. These results demonstrate that humans can taste MOS stimuli of all chain lengths and that relative taste detection rates are generally similar across MOS with varying chain lengths.

Abstract
Prebiotic oligosaccharides are of widespread interest in the food industry due to their potential health benefits. This has triggered a need for research into their sensory properties. Such research is currently limited due to the lack of available food-grade oligosaccharide preparations with specific degree of polymerization (DP). The aim of this study was to develop economical approaches for the preparation and characterization of prebiotic oligosaccharides differing with respect to composition and DP. Such preparations were prepared by chromatographic fractionation of commercially available prebiotic mixtures using microcrystalline cellulose stationary phases and aqueous ethanol mobile phases. This approach is shown to work for the preparation of food-grade fructooligosaccharides of DP 3 and 4, galactooligosaccharides of DP 3 and 4, and xylooligosaccharides of DP 2-4. Methods for the characterization of the different classes of oligosaccharides are also presented including those addressing purity, identity, total carbohydrate content, moles per unit mass, and DP.

Abstract
Pullulanase is a potent enzyme for starch debranching. In this study, a novel type I pullulanase (PulM) was identified from the metagenome of a thermal aquatic habitat that exhibits optimal activity of debranching at 40 °C temperature and pH 6.0 to 7.0. More than 50% enzymatic activity was detected at the low temperature of 4 °C, determining it a cold-active type I pullulanase. It was able to efficiently catalyze the hydrolysis of α-1,6-glycosidic linkages in pullulan, with a specific activity of 177 U mg-1. The results determined PulM to be a potential starch debranching biocatalyst, causing a significant increase of about 80% in the apparent amylose content of potato starch. Retrogradation of the debranched starch resulted in the formation of resistant starch 3. The yield of resistant starch was estimated to be about 45%. The resistant starch exhibited higher crystallinity, enhanced heat-stability, and resistance to α-amylase digestion, as compared to native starch.

Abstract
Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) have been widely used as alternative sweeteners owing to their stabilities, low calorigenic, and prebiotic properties. The aim of this research was to improve the functionality of conventionally produced IMOs by increasing dietary fiber (DF) content with newly synthesized α-(1,6)-linkages through the dextransucrase reaction. To optimize the reaction conditions, various combinations of IMO and sucrose concentrations were applied as acceptor and donor molecules, respectively. Soluble DF content in the enzymatically-modified IMOs increased significantly with the initial substrate mixture of 10 % sucrose and 20 % IMOs; both DF and IMO contents increased to 35 % and 54 %, respectively. It was clearly suggested a simple dextransucrase-involved bioprocess could be applied to increase the DF content to the IMOs produced via a conventional process without scarifying the original IMO contents. Thus, it will be expected that the DF-enhanced IMO products are potentially applicable as functional ingredients as sugar substitutes in the food industry.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HA) is a critical component of the extracellular matrix and plays an important biological function of interacting with different molecules and receptors. In this study, both odd- and even-numbered HA oligosaccharides (HAOs) with specific degrees of polymerization (DP) were prepared by different hydrochloric acid hydrolyses, and their structures were characterized by means of HPLC, ESI-MS, and NMR. The data show that the odd-numbered HAOs (DP3-11) have a glucuronic acid reducing end, while the even-numbered HAOs (DP2-10) have an N-acetylglucosamine reducing end. Biological evaluations indicated that all HAOs significantly inhibited the growth and migration of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cells. Among these oligosaccharides, the HA tetrasaccharide (DP4) was confirmed to be the minimum fragment necessary to inhibit MDA-MB-231 cells. Our data suggest that HAOs have potential value in the treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
Research involving human responses to the consumption of starch and its hydrolysis products would benefit from convenient sources of well defined, low cost, food-grade maltooligosaccharides (MOS). This report addresses such need by presenting an approach to obtain aforementioned MOS. A chromatography-ready MOS sample containing proportionately high amounts of low degree of polymerization (DP) MOS is initially prepared from commercially-available maltodextrins (MD) by taking advantage of the DP-dependent differential solubility of MOS in aqueous-ethanol solutions. The low DP-enriched MOS preparation is subsequently fractionated via preparative column chromatography using cellulose-based stationary phases and step-gradient aqueous-ethanol mobile phases. The resulting fractions yielded isolated food-grade MOS ranging in DP from 3 to 7. NMR spectra of isolated MOS indicated minimal amounts of branched saccharides. Typical yields from a single fractionation protocol (2 g MD starting material), including solvent partitioning through preparative chromatography, ranged from ∼40 mg for DP 4, 5, and 7 to ∼100 mg for DP 3 and 6.

Abstract
Studies have reported that some animals, including humans, can taste mixtures of glucose oligomers (i.e., maltooligosaccharides, MOS) and that their detection is independent of the known T1R2/T1R3 sweet taste receptor. In an effort to understand potential mechanisms underlying the taste perception of glucose oligomers in humans, this study was designed to investigate: 1) the variability of taste sensitivity to MOS with low degree-of-polymerization (DP), and 2) the potential role of hT1R2/T1R3 in the MOS taste detection. To address these objectives, a series of food grade, narrow-DP-range MOS were first prepared (DP 3, 3–4, 5–6, and 6–7) by fractionating disperse saccharide mixtures. Subjects were then asked to discriminate these MOS stimuli as well as glucose (DP 1) and maltose (DP 2) from blanks after the stimuli were swabbed on the tongue. All stimuli were presented at 75 mM with and without a sweet taste inhibitor (lactisole). An α-glucosidase inhibitor (acarbose) was added to all test stimuli to prevent oral digestion of glucose oligomers. Results showed that all six stimuli were detected with similar discriminability in normal tasting conditions. When the sweet receptor was inhibited, DP 1, 2, and 3 were not discriminated from blanks. In contrast, three higher-DP paired MOS stimuli (DP 3–4, 5–6, and 6–7) were discriminated from blanks at a similar degree. Overall, these results support the presence of a sweet-independent taste perception mechanism that is stimulated by MOS greater than three units.

Functional and structural characterization of plastidic starch phosphorylase during barley endosperm development. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0175488.

Abstract
The production of starch is essential for human nutrition and represents a major metabolic flux in the biosphere. The biosynthesis of starch in storage organs like barley endosperm operates via two main pathways using different substrates: starch synthases use ADP-glucose to produce amylose and amylopectin, the two major components of starch, whereas starch phosphorylase (Pho1) uses glucose-1-phosphate (G1P), a precursor for ADP-glucose production, to produce α-1,4 glucans. The significance of the Pho1 pathway in starch biosynthesis has remained unclear. To elucidate the importance of barley Pho1 (HvPho1) for starch biosynthesis in barley endosperm, we analyzed HvPho1 protein production and enzyme activity levels throughout barley endosperm development and characterized structure-function relationships of HvPho1. The molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of starch granule biosynthesis, that is, the enzymes and substrates involved in the initial transition from simple sugars to polysaccharides, remain unclear. We found that HvPho1 is present as an active protein at the onset of barley endosperm development. Notably, purified recombinant protein can catalyze the de novo production of α-1,4-glucans using HvPho1 from G1P as the sole substrate. The structural properties of HvPho1 provide insights into the low affinity of HvPho1 for large polysaccharides like starch or amylopectin. Our results suggest that HvPho1 may play a role during the initiation of starch biosynthesis in barley.

Abstract
We studied the activity of a debranching enzyme (TreX) from Sulfolobus solfataricus on glycogen-mimic substrates, branched maltotetraosyl-β-cyclodextrin (Glc₄-β-CD), and natural glycogen to better understand substrate transglycosylation and the effect thereof on glycogen debranching in microorganisms. The validation test of Glc₄-β-CD as a glycogen mimic substrate showed that it followed the breakdown process of the well-known yeast and rat liver extract. TreX catalyzed both hydrolysis of α-1,6-glycosidic linkages and transglycosylation at relatively high (>0.5 mM) substrate concentrations. TreX transferred maltotetraosyl moieties from the donor substrate to acceptor molecules, resulting in the formation of two positional isomers of dimaltotetraosyl-α-1,6-β-cyclodextrin [(Glc₄)₂-β-CD]; these were 6(1),6(3)- and 6(1),6(4)-dimaltotetraosyl-α-1,6-β-CD. Use of a modified Michaelis-Menten equation to study substrate transglycosylation revealed that the kcat and Km values for transglycosylation were 1.78 × 10(3) s(-1) and 3.30 mM, respectively, whereas the values for hydrolysis were 2.57 × 10(3) s(-1) and 0.206 mM, respectively. Also, enzyme catalytic efficiency (the kcat/Km ratio) increased as the degree of polymerization of branch chains rose. In the model reaction system of Escherichia coli, glucose-1-phosphate production from glycogen by the glycogen phosphorylase was elevated ∼1.45-fold in the presence of TreX compared to that produced in the absence of TreX. The results suggest that outward shifting of glycogen branch chains via transglycosylation increases the number of exposed chains susceptible to phosphorylase action. We developed a model of the glycogen breakdown process featuring both hydrolysis and transglycosylation catalyzed by the debranching enzyme.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis genome includes seven family 34 glycosyltransferase (GT34) encoding genes. XXT1 and XXT2 have previously been shown to encode XyG α-1,6-xylosyltransferases, while knockout mutants of a third, XXT5, exhibit decreased XyG content, suggesting a similar activity. Here, we extend the study to the rest of the Arabidopsis GT34 genes in terms of biochemical activity and their roles in XyG biosynthesis. The enzyme activity of XXTs was investigated using recombinant protein expressed in E. coli. XyG analysis of single and double T-DNA insertion knockouts, together with overexpression of GT34s in selected mutant lines, provided detailed function of each gene. We reveal the activity of the third member of the GT34 gene family (XXT4) that exhibits xylosyltransferase activity. Double mutants for either xxt2 or xxt5 had a large impact on XyG content, structure and size distribution. Overexpression of the remaining member, XXT3, was able to restore XyG epitopes in xxt2, xxt5 and xxt2 xxt5 double knockouts, suggesting that it also encodes a protein with XXT activity. Our work demonstrates that five of the seven Arabidopsis GT34 genes encode XXT enzymes.

Abstract
We cloned the gene for an extracellular α-amylase, AmyE, from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana and expressed it in Escherichia coli. The molecular mass of the enzyme was 92 kDa as a monomer. Maximum activity was observed at pH 6.5 and temperature 75°C and the enzyme was highly thermostable. AmyE hydrolyzed the typical substrates for α-amylase, including soluble starch, amylopectin, and maltooli-gosaccharides. The hydrolytic pattern of AmyE was similar to that of a typical α-amylase; however, unlike most of the calcium (Ca(2+))-dependent α-amylases, the activity of AmyE was unaffected by Ca(2+). The specific activities of AmyE towards various substrates indicated that the enzyme preferred maltooligosaccharides which have more than four glucose residues. AmyE could not hydrolyze maltose and maltotriose. When maltoheptaose was incubated with AmyE at the various time courses, the products consisting of maltose through maltopentaose was evenly formed indicating that the enzyme acts in an endo-fashion. The specific activity of AmyE (7.4 U/mg at 75° C, pH 6.5, with starch as the substrate) was extremely lower than that of other extracellular α-amylases, which indicates that AmyE may cooperate with other highly active extracellular α-amylases for the breakdown of the starch or α-glucans into maltose and maltotriose before transport into the cell in the members of Thermotoga sp.

Abstract
This critical review article presents the current state of knowledge on isomalto-oligosaccharides, some well known functional oligosaccharides in Asia, to evaluate their potential as emergent prebiotics in the American and European functional food market. It includes first a unique inventory of the different families of compounds which have been considered as IMOs and their specific structure. A description has been given of the different production methods including the involved enzymes and their specific activities, the substrates, and the types of IMOs produced. Considering the structural complexity of IMO products, specific characterization methods are described, as well as purification methods which enable the body to get rid of digestible oligosaccharides. Finally, an extensive review of their techno-functional and nutritional properties enables placing IMOs inside the growing prebiotic market. This review is of particular interest considering that IMO commercialization in America and Europe is a topical subject due to the recent submission by Bioneutra Inc. (Canada) of a novel food file to the UK Food Standards Agency, as well as several patents for IMO production.

Abstract
A comparative study of nine assay methods for dextransucrase and related enzymes has been made. A relatively widespread method for the reaction of dextransucrase with sucrose is the measurement of the reducing value of D-fructose by alkaline 3,5-dinitrosalicylate (DNS) and thereby the amount of D-glucose incorporated into dextran. Another method is the reaction with (14)C-sucrose with the addition of an aliquot to Whatman 3MM paper squares that are washed three times with methanol to remove (14)C-D-fructose and unreacted (14)C-sucrose, followed by counting of (14)C-dextran on the paper by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). It is shown that both methods give erroneous results. The DNS reducing value method gives extremely high values due to over-oxidation of both D-fructose and dextran, and the (14)C-paper square method gives significantly low values due to the removal of some of the (14)C-dextran from the paper by methanol washes. In the present study, we have examined nine methods and find two that give values that are identical and are an accurate measurement of the dextransucrase reaction. They are (1) a (14)C-sucrose/dextransucrase digest in which dextran is precipitated three times with three volumes of ethanol, dissolved in water, and added to paper and counted in a toluene cocktail by LSC; and (2) precipitation of dextran three times with three volumes of ethanol from a sucrose/dextransucrase digest, dried, and weighed. Four reducing value methods were examined to measure the amount of D-fructose. Three of the four (two DNS methods, one with both dextran and D-fructose and the other with only D-fructose, and the ferricyanide/arsenomolybdate method with D-fructose) gave extremely high values due to over-oxidation of D-fructose, D-glucose, leucrose, and dextran.

Abstract
The gene encoding a type I pullulanase from the hyperthermophilic anaerobic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana (pulA) was cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. The pulA gene from T. neapolitana showed 91.5% pairwise amino acid identity with pulA from Thermotoga maritima and contained the four regions conserved in all amylolytic enzymes. pulA encodes a protein of 843 amino acids with a 19-residue signal peptide. The pulA gene was subcloned and overexpressed in E. coli under the control of the T7 promoter. The purified recombinant enzyme (rPulA) produced a 93-kDa protein with pullulanase activity. rPulA was optimally active at pH 5-7 and 80°C and had a half-life of 88 min at 80°C. rPulA hydrolyzed pullulan, producing maltotriose, and hydrolytic activities were also detected with amylopectin, starch, and glycogen, but not with amylose. This substrate specificity is typical of a type I pullulanase. Thin layer chromatography of the reaction products in the reaction with pullulan and aesculin showed that the enzyme had transglycosylation activity. Analysis of the transfer product using NMR and isoamylase treatment revealed it to be α-maltotriosyl-(1,6)-aesculin, suggesting that the enzyme transferred the maltotriosyl residue of pullulan to aesculin by forming α-1,6-glucosidic linkages. Our findings suggest that the pullulanase from T. neapolitana is the first thermostable type I pullulanase which has α-1,6-transferring activity.

Abstract
We cloned and expressed the gene for an intracellular alpha-amylase, designated AmyB, from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana in Escherichia coli. The putative intracellular amylolytic enzyme contained four regions that are highly conserved among glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 13 alpha-amylases. AmyB exhibited maximum activity at pH 6.5 and 75 degrees C, and its thermostability was slightly enhanced by Ca2+. However, Ca2+ was not required for the activity of AmyB as EDTA had no effect on enzyme activity. AmyB hydrolyzed the typical substrates for alpha-amylase, including soluble starch, amylose, amylopectin, and glycogen, to liberate maltose and minor amount of glucose. The hydrolytic pattern of AmyB is most similar to those of maltogenic amylases (EC 3.2.1.133) among GH 13 alpha-amylases; however, it can be distinguished by its inability to hydrolyze pullulan and beta-cyclodextrin. AmyB enzymatic activity was negligible when acarbose, a maltotetraose analog in which a maltose residue at the nonreducing end was replaced by acarviosine, was present, indicating that AmyB cleaves maltose units from the nonreducing end of maltooligosaccharides. These results indicate that AmyB is a new type exo-acting intracellular alpha-amylase possessing distinct characteristics that distinguish it from typical alpha-amylase and cyclodextrin-/pullulan-hydrolyzing enzymes.

Abstract
A putative 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (alphaGTase) gene from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was identified being composed of 1505 nucleotides, and the overexpressed protein was purified with an affinity chromatography. The recombinant alphaGTase had about 57kDa of molecular mass when judged by SDS-PAGE analysis. The optimum reaction condition of the alphaGTase was shown to be pH 7 at 45 degrees C in 50mm phosphate buffer. This enzyme displayed transglycosylating activity on various maltooligosaccharides, of which the smallest donor and acceptor molecules were determined to be maltose and glucose, respectively. Various corn starches consisting of different proportions of amylopectin and amylose were incubated with the recombinant alphaGTase. The change in molecular weight distribution of alphaGTase-modified starch was analyzed by HPSEC. The reaction pattern of alphaGTase showed substantial decrease in amylopectin and increase in the peak corresponding to cycloamylose (CA). The production yield of CA tended to increase from 5 to 30% along with the increase in the apparent amylose content in corn starch, which suggested that linear amylose chain would be preferred to produce CA in the alphaGTase treatment. The detectable minimum degree of polymerization (DP) of CA was shown to be 22 by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. As another action mode of alphaGTase, the rearrangement of amylopectin branch-chain distribution occurred without hydrolysis to small oligosaccharides. After isoamylolysis, alphaGTase-treated starch displayed the increase in DP 4-9 and longer than DP 21 when the relative proportion of branch chains in amylopectin was determined by HPAEC.

Role of maltogenic amylase and pullulanase in maltodextrin and glycogen metabolism of Bacillus subtilis 168. J Bacteriol 2009; 191:4835-44.

Abstract
The physiological functions of two amylolytic enzymes, a maltogenic amylase (MAase) encoded by yvdF and a debranching enzyme (pullulanase) encoded by amyX, in the carbohydrate metabolism of Bacillus subtilis 168 were investigated using yvdF, amyX, and yvdF amyX mutant strains. An immunolocalization study revealed that YvdF was distributed on both sides of the cytoplasmic membrane and in the periplasm during vegetative growth but in the cytoplasm of prespores. Small carbohydrates such as maltoheptaose and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) taken up by wild-type B. subtilis cells via two distinct transporters, the Mdx and Cyc ABC transporters, respectively, were hydrolyzed immediately to form smaller or linear maltodextrins. On the other hand, the yvdF mutant exhibited limited degradation of the substrates, indicating that, in the wild type, maltodextrins and beta-CD were hydrolyzed by MAase while being taken up by the bacterium. With glycogen and branched beta-CDs as substrates, pullulanase showed high-level specificity for the hydrolysis of the outer side chains of glycogen with three to five glucosyl residues. To investigate the roles of MAase and pullulanase in glycogen utilization, the following glycogen-overproducing strains were constructed: a glg mutant with a wild-type background, yvdF glg and amyX glg mutants, and a glg mutant with a double mutant (DM) background. The amyX glg and glg DM strains accumulated significantly larger amounts of glycogen than the glg mutant, while the yvdF glg strain accumulated an intermediate amount. Glycogen samples from the amyX glg and glg DM strains exhibited average molecular masses two and three times larger, respectively, than that of glycogen from the glg mutant. The results suggested that glycogen breakdown may be a sequential process that involves pullulanase and MAase, whereby pullulanase hydrolyzes the alpha-1,6-glycosidic linkage at the branch point to release a linear maltooligosaccharide that is then hydrolyzed into maltose and maltotriose by MAase.
