The expressed gene (pul) for a thermostable pullulanase from Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum was cloned into Escherichia coli. The enzyme was purified from cell extracts of E. coli by thermoinactivation, ammonium sulphate precipitation and gel exclusion. The purified enzyme was characterized as monomer with both pullulanase and glucoamylase activities. The general physico-chemical and catalytic properties of this enzyme were obtained. In particular, pullulanase and glucoamylase activities were stable and optimally active at 65 degrees C. The pH optimum for activity was 5.8. The amino acid composition and amino acid sequence of N-terminal end were estimated.

Cold-active pullulanases with good catalytic performance possess promising applications in cold hydrolysis of starch. Adopting bioinformatics-assisted mining strategies, 7 candidate cold-active pullulanases were initially screened out from IMG/MER database. Among the candidates, PulBs exhibited good thermostability and the highest specific activity of 147.

Pullulanases are important starch-debranching enzymes that mainly hydrolyze the α-1,6-glycosidic linkages in pullulan, starch, and oligosaccharides. Nevertheless, their practical applications are constrained because of their poor activity and low thermostability. Moreover, the trade-off between activity and thermostability makes it challenging to simultaneously improve them.

This study aimed to identify thermo-stable pullulanase-producing bacteria in soil samples of potato fields and food-producing companies. Pullulan agar medium was used to screen 17 bacterial strains, which were incubated at 65 °C. The isolate with the maximum activity (375U/ml) was selected and recognized as ADM-11 by morphological, biochemical characterization, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

This study aimed to improve the in vitro digestibility and thermostability of debranched waxy maize starch (DWMS) by sequential fractionation. Waxy maize starch was debranched by pullulanase, followed by sequential precipitation through controlling the ratio of starch supernatants to ethanol at 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:1.
