title: Purification and some properties of beta-fructofuranosidase I formed by Aureobasidium pullulans DSM 2404.
abstract: beta-Fructofuranosidase I (FFase I) formed by Aureobasidium pullulans DSM 2404 was purified. The enzyme had a molecular weight of about 430 kDa, was not affected by various metal ions and showed high transfructosylating activity. The yield of fructooligosaccharides production using purified FFase I was 62%.
