Expression and biochemical characterization of maltogenic amylase from bacillus lehensis G1

This study was carried out for the expression and characterization of maltogenic amylase (MAG1) from Bacillus lehensis G1. Amplification of 1741 base pair gene fragments encoding MAG1 and expression in Escherichia coli have been successful. The expression of MAG1 was optimized at 30°C and 0.5 mM iso...
