Abstract
A thermophile producing large amounts of maltosaccharide-hydrolysing e nzyme was isolated from soil. The isolate (MIB010) that grew from 45 t o 65 degrees C and at pH 6.5-8.9 was identified as a strain of Bacillu s. Its hydrolysing activity towards maltose was stable for 10 min up t o 65 degrees C. This enzyme hydrolysed maltotriose and maltotetraose, but was inactive against isomaltose and isomaltotriose.
