Cloning and sequencing of an original gene encoding a maltogenic amylase from Bacillus sp. US149 strain and characterization of the recombinant activity.

abstract：:Oenococcus oeni is the main bacterial species that drives malolactic fermentation in wine. Most O. oeni strains produce capsular exopolysaccharides (EPS) that may contribute to protect them in the wine hostile environment. In O. oeni genome sequences, several genes are predicted to encode priming glycosyltransferases ...
