Bacterial β-Amylase (Bacillus species)

Bacterial β-amylase from Bacillus species is an enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars, primarily maltose. It functions by cleaving the bonds between glucose units in starch molecules, aiding in the conversion of complex carbohydrates into fermentable sugars. This enzyme is valuable in industrial processes like brewing, food production, and biofuel manufacturing, where efficient starch breakdown is essential. Derived from bacteria, bacterial β-amylase offers advantages such as stability at higher temperatures and pH levels, making it a versatile tool in various biotechnological applications.
