Abstract
A 2.3 kb DNA fragment that contains a gene encoding endoinulinase, inu 2, from Aspergillus ficuum ATCC 16882 was isolated and analyzed. It in cludes an open reading frame of 1,551 bp, coding for a polypeptide wit h calculated molecular weight of 55,790 Da, including a putative signa l peptide of 22 amino acids. Alignment of amino acid sequences reveale d 73.3% identity and 93.9% similarity between A. ficuum and Penicilliu m purpurogenum endoinulinase.
