Production and Characterisation of Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase from a Locally Isolated Bacillus Sp

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (E.C.2.4.1.19) synthesise cyclic oligosaccharide which is also known as cyclodextrin, from starch. Most of the known CGTases produce a mixture of a-, B- and Y-CD at different ratios. CGTase producing microorganism was isolated from local soils on selective agar mediu...
