Abstract:Nigerose is a kind of rare disaccharide connected by an α-1,3 glucosidic bond, which is a potential probiotic due to its antidigestive properties and beneficial functions. This study identified and characterized a novel GH65 glycoside phosphorylase derived from Anaerosporobacter mobilis (AmNP). This new protein could specifically catalyze the phospholysis of nigerose to generate glucose and glucose-1-phosphate in the presence of phosphate, indicating it was a typical nigerose phosphorylase. Compared to the pre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
