Abstract
Various saccharides were hydrolyzed with the purified amyloglucosidase of Endornyces sp. IFO 0111.
Glucose was the only reducing product in the digest of soluble starch. The amyloglucosidase could hydrolyze starch and amylose only incompletely though it had the ability to split α-d-(1→6) bonds and hydrolyzed amylopectin and glycogen to high extents.
It hydrolyzed maito-oligosaccharides by stepwise removal of glucose units from the nonreducing end of the molecules.
