Abstract
Maltose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.8) from Propionibacterium freudenreich ii was purified and characterized. The enzyme catalyzed both the phosp horolysis and the synthesis of maltose. In particular, in the syntheti c reaction, the enzyme could use any of nine sugars other than D-gluco se as a sugar acceptor, which resulted in the formation of new disacch arides, in which the first carbon of D-glucose and the fourth carbon o f the other sugar were connected by an a-glycosidic linkage.
