[Progress on molecular biology of trehalose synthase--a review].
Trehalose synthase inverts maltose into trehalose, and plays a very important role in trehalose industrial production. Here we reviewed the recent progress on studies of molecular biology including the cloning of trehalose synthase gene, gene engineering application, structure and catalytic mechanism and the role of the enzyme in vivo.
