The objective of this study was to determine the effect of pH on the growth rate and production of pigments by Monascus ruber from maltose syrup residue as a substrate. The cultivations were carried out in solid and submerged media under different pH conditions. The highest radial growth rate oc...detailed
A novel α-amylase gene (TdAmyA) with an open reading frame of 1431 bp, deducing 476 amino acids, was cloned from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces dupontii L18. The recombinant α-amylase was successfully over-expressed in Pichia pastoris. The highest α-amylase activity of 38,314 U/mL was ob...detailed
Maltose frequently occurs as intermediate of the central carbon metabolism of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Various mutants possess elevated maltose levels. Maltose exists as two anomers, (α- and β-form) which are rapidly interconverted without requiring enzyme-mediated catalysis. As malto...detailed
The change in structure, function of proteinase K in the presence of maltose was studied using spectroscopic and computational techniques. UV–Vis spectroscopy results reveal with the addition of maltose, the peaks of proteinase K didn't show any shifts. The intrinsic fluorescence intensity...detailed
In light of a recent update in EU regulations governing levels of acrylamide in foodstuffs, further understanding of the role of different precursors is fundamental to extending mitigation strategies into a wider product range. Kinetic modelling was used to investigate the role of maltose in the...detailed
