DNA shuffling was used to improve the thermostability of maltogenic amylase from Bacillus thermoalkalophilus ET2. Two highly thermostable mutants, III-1 and III-2, were generated after three rounds of shuffling and recombination of mutations. Their optimal reaction temperatures were all 80 degrees C, which was 10 degrees C higher than that of the wild-type. The mutant enzyme III-1 carried seven mutations: N147D, F195L, N263S, D311G, A344V, F397S, and N508D. The half-life of III-1 was about 20 times greater than that of the wild-type at 78 degrees C. The mutant enzyme III-2 carried M375T in addition to the mutations in III-1, which was responsible for the decrease in specific activity. The half-life of III-2 was 568 min while that of the wild-type was < 1 min at 80 degrees C. The melting temperatures of III-1 and III-2, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry, increased by 6.1 degrees C and 11.4 degrees C, respectively. Hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interaction, proper packing, and deamidation were predicted as the mechanisms for the enhancement of thermostability in the enzymes with the mutations.

The high gelatinization temperature (GT) of millet starch prevents the usage of infusion or step mashes as an effective means to generate fermentable sugars (FS) in brewing because the malt amylases lack thermostability at GT. Here, we investigate processing modifications to determine if millet starch can be efficiently degraded below GT. We determined that producing finer grists through milling did not introduce enough granule damage to markedly change gelatinization characteristics, though there was improved liberation of the endogenous enzymes.

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.

Starch hydrolysis to maltose by nano-magnetic combined cross-linked enzyme aggregates of α-amylase and maltogenic amylase (NM-Combi-CLEAs) is an important step to open new perspectives for special food and pharmaceutic production. Improvement of mass transfer, thermostability, functional specificity, and reusability of combined enzymes was performed. The obtained results exhibited that, 1:9 ratio of α-amylase/maltogenic amylase, use of tert-butanol as precipitant, 2 mM glutardialdehyde, 1:0.
