A bacterial strain AM7, isolated from soil and identified as Bacillus circulans, produced two kinds of novel cyclic oligosaccharides. The cyclic oligosaccharides were produced from amylose using a culture supernatant of the strain as the enzyme preparation. The major product was a cyclomaltopentaose cyclized by an alpha-(1-->6)-linkage, cyclo-{-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->}. The other minor product was cyclomaltohexaose cyclized by an alpha-(1-->6)-linkage, cyclo-{-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->}. We propose the names isocyclomaltopentaose (ICG5) and isocyclomaltohexaose (ICG6) for these novel cyclic maltooligosaccharides having one alpha-(1-->6)-linkage. ICG5 was digested by alpha-amylase derived from Aspergillus oryzae, cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus, and maltogenic alpha-amylase. On the other hand, ICG6 was digested by CGTase from B. stearothermophilus and B. circulans, and maltogenic alpha-amylase. This is the first report of enzymatically produced cyclomaltopentaose and cyclomaltohexaose, which have an alpha-(1-->6)-linkage in their molecules.
从土壤中分离出的一株编号为AM7的细菌,经鉴定为环状芽孢杆菌,它能产生两种新型环状寡糖。利用该菌株的培养上清液作为酶制剂,从直链淀粉中制备出了这些环状寡糖。主要产物是一种通过α-(1→6)键环化的环麦芽五糖,即环-{→6)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→}。另一种次要产物是通过α-(1→6)键环化的环麦芽六糖,即环-{→6)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→4)-α-D-葡萄糖-(1→}。对于这些具有一个α-(1→6)键的新型环状麦芽寡糖,我们提议将其命名为异环麦芽五糖(ICG5)和异环麦芽六糖(ICG6)。ICG5能被米曲霉来源的α-淀粉酶、嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌的环糊精葡萄糖基转移酶(CGTase)以及产麦芽糖α-淀粉酶消化。另一方面,ICG6能被嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌和环状芽孢杆菌的CGTase以及产麦芽糖α-淀粉酶消化。这是关于酶法制备分子中含有α-(1→6)键的环麦芽五糖和环麦芽六糖的首次报道。
