The gene for
beta-amylase
was isolated from Bacillus polymyxa by molecular cloning in B. subtilis. B. subtilis cells containing this gene express and secrete an amylase which resembles the B. polymyxa
beta-amylase
and barley
beta-amylase
in terms of the products it generates during carbohydrate hydrolysis. Starch hydrolysis with this
beta-amylase
produces maltose, not glucose, whereas maltotriose and cycloheptaose are resistant to the action of this
beta-amylase
. The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 68,000. Restriction
endonuclease
mapping demonstrated that the DNA inserted in pBD64 and containing the gene is approximately 3 kilobases in length.
