Abstract
A highly thermostable pullulanase purified from Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum strain 39E displayed dual activity with respect to glycosidic bond cleavage. The enzyme cleaved α-1,6 bonds in pullulan, while it showed α-1,4 activity against malto-oligosaccharides. Kinetic analysis of the purified enzyme in a system which contained both pullulan and amylose as the two competing substrates were used to distinguish the dual specificity of the enzyme from the single substrate specificity known for pullulanases and α-amylases.
