Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase에 의한 각종 oligosaccharide의 분해산물을 조사하고, Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens $alpha$-amylase, Rhizopus niveus glucoamylase에 의한 각종 생전분의 분해율을 비교 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 공시 oligosaccharide중 Bacillus circuians F-2 $alpha$-amylase는 maltose와 maltotriose를 분해시키지 못하였으나 meltotetraose이상의 oligosaccharide는 분해시켰다. maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltoheraose, maltoheptaose, maltooctaose중 maltotetraose의 분해가 가장 미약하였다. 2. soluble starch, amylopectin, amylose, oyster glycogen중 oyster glycogen의 분해율이 약간 낮았다. 3. corn starch의 분해율은 진탕반응이 정치반응보다 높았으나 potato starch에 대하여는 효소의 종류에 따라 일정치 않았다. 4. corn, rice, arrowroot, high amylose corn, banana, sago, yam, potato starch에 대하여 Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase가 Bacillus amyloquefaciems $alpha$-amylase, Rhizopus niveus glucoamylase보다 월등하게 높은 분해율을 나타내었다.
These experiments were conducted to investigate the hydrolysis products on the various oligosaccharides of Bacillus cirulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase, and the hydrolysis rate on the various raw starches of Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase, Bacillus amylotiquefaciens $alpha$-amylase and Rhizopus niveus glucoamylase. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose and maltooctaose were hydrolyzed, but maltose and maltotriose were not hydrolyzed by Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase. Among maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose and maltooctaose, especially maltotetraose was hydrolyzed weakly by Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase. 2. The Hydrolysis rate of oyster glycogen was slightly lower than soluble starch, amylose and amylopectin. 3. The hydrolysis rate of com starch was higher in shaking incubation than in stationary incubation, but the hydrolysis rate of potato starch was not definite according to kinds of enzyme. 4. On com, rice, arrowroot, high amylose corn, banana, sago, yam and potato starch, Bacillus circulans F-2 $alpha$-amylase exhibited a remarkably higher hydrolysis rate than Bacillus amyloquefaciems $alpha$-amylase and Rhizopus niveus glucoamylase.
