Dextranase, Penicillium sp.

Dextranase, Penicillium sp. belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 49. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,6-glycosidic linkages in dextran via a single-displacement reaction, ultimately releasing shorter isomaltooligosaccharides. Dextranase, Penicillium sp. reduces the molecular size of dextran, inhibits the formation of insoluble dextran and dental plaque, and decreases the viscosity of dextran-contaminated sugar juice. Dextranase, Penicillium sp. can be used in relevant research in fields such as chemical production, including beer manufacturing, feed additives, and toothpaste formulations.
