Partial purification and properties of cyclodextrin glycosiltransferase (CGTase) from alkalophilic Bacillus species [PDF]
Abstract Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.9) is an unique enzyme capable of converting starch and related substrates into cyclodextrins (CDs). In this paper, we report an one step gel purification method of CGTase from Bacillus sp. and later enzyme characterization. The Bacillus sp.
