Article Synopsis
- GtfC enzymes from Gram-positive bacteria are gaining attention for their ability to produce specific α-glucans, particularly in the food industry.
- Research has identified a new GtfC enzyme from the bacterium sp. 12AMOR1, which operates best at high temperatures (60 °C) and produces unique starch-derived polymers.
- This GtfC enzyme exhibits antistaling properties in bread, making it a promising candidate for improving the quality of bakery products.
