Effects of substrate branching characteristics on kinetics of enzymatic depolymerization of mixed linear and branched polysaccharides: II. Amylose/glycogen alpha-amylolysis.

abstract：:Frozen bagged seed inoculum was prepared, thawed and tested for seven cultures. Thawing techniques were developed and other key influences on thawing rate were quantified; seed bag thawing without a water bath rarely required more than 4 to 5 h and was as short as 0.5 to 1 h for lower fill volume bags. Testing include...
