The specific activity of cell-free extract of Thermus ruber cultivated on a media without saccharides was 0.016-0.028 U/mg protein and it increased up to 0.086 U/mg in the presence of 0.5?^ maltose in the culture broth. The maximum degree of maltose conversion of about 90“6 was achieved at 10% substrate concentration. The trehalose synthase does not catalyse formation of trehalose from malto- tetraose, maltohexaose and other oligosaccharides. The optimal temperature for enzyme activity was 65°C. A maximum activity of the maltose transglucosylation was performed at pH 6.5. The highest yield of trehalose synthase was attained during cultivation of bacteria at 55°C for 48 h on media composed of 0.5% peptone, 0.1% yeast extract and 0.5% maltose or starch.}, type={Text}, title={Suitability of Thermus ruber as a source of trehalose synthase}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/74272/PDF/POZN271_97469_biotechnologia-2008-nr1-sienkiewicz.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
