The sequenced DNA of 2012 bp contains one open reading frame of 1406 nucleotides without a translation stop codon. The deduced amino acid sequence homology with those known bacterial and some plant beta-amylase was 98% for Bacillus polymyxa 72, 98% for Bacillus polymyxa ATCC8523, 82% for Bacillus circulans, 54% for Clostridium thermosulfurogenes, 49% for Bacillus cereus BQ10-S1, 50% for Bacillus cereus var. mycoides, 36% for barley, and 36% for soybean Eleven well-conserved regions were found among the amino acid sequences of the nine beta-amylases.Read More
