Abstract

Enzymatic hydrolysis of barley (1→3),(1→4)-β-D-glucan using a recombinant (1→3),(1→4)-β-glucanase from Bacillus licheniformis gives Glcβ4Glcβ3Glc isolated after acetylation in 49% yield. Conventional treatment produced the corresponding β-fluoride which was carefully de-O-acetylated. A transglycosylation reaction with this substrate, catalyzed by the title enzyme, gave Glcβ4Glcβ3Glcβ4Glcβ4Glcβ3Glc in 20% yield. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
