Manipulation of amylase reaction to improve the reducing sugars production

An Anoxybacillus strain SK3-4 was previously isolated from Perak Sungai Klah hot spring. The a-amylase gene fragment from Anoxybacillus sp. denoted as ASKA was cloned into pET-22b(+) and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). However, the reactivity and productivity of this amylase is underex...
