General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in starch hydrolysis research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Amyloglucosidase is a disaccharide enzyme belonging to the α-glucosidase type. It is produced by several species of Aspergillus genus.

Application

Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger has been used in glycogen assay and in acetate buffer for starch hydrolysis. It can also be used for glycogen determination in whole yeast cells and synthesis of hetero-oligosaccharides by glucoamylase in reverse.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmole of glucose per minute at pH 4.8 and 60 °C (starch acc. to Zulkowsky, Cat. No. 85642, as substrate).

The relationships between heat production, alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway flux, AOX protein, and carbohydrates during floral development in Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) were investigated. Three distinct physiological phases were identified: pre-thermogenic, thermogenic, and post-thermogenic. The shift to thermogenic activity was associated

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) are essential for maintenance of plant metabolism and may be sensitive to short- and long-term climatic variation. NSC variation in moist tropical forests has rarely been studied, so regulation of NSCs in these systems is poorly understood.
