The α-amylase fromCorallococcus sp. EGB, which was classified to the GH13_36 subfamily, can catalyze the conversion of maltooligosaccharides (≥G3) and soluble starch to maltose as the sole hydrolysate. An action mechanism for producing a high level of maltose without the attendant production of glucose has been proposed. Moreover, it also can hydrolyze γ-cyclodextrin and pullulan. Its biochemical characterization suggested that CoMA may be involved the accumulation of maltose inCorallococcus media.
