E. aCyclodextrin production and genetic characterization of cyclodextrin glucanotranferase of Paenibacillus graminis.h[electronic resource] c2008 aPaenibacillus graminis strains were described recently as cyclodextrin (CD) producers. Cyclodextrins are produced by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) which has not been characterized in P. graminis. Similar amounts of ?- and ?-CDs were produced by P. graminis (MC22.13) and P. macerans (LMD24.10T). Primers were designed to sequence the gene encoding CGTase from P. graminis. A phylogenetic tree was constructed and P. graminis CGTase protein showed to be closer (79.4% protein identity) to P. macerans |P31835|. Hybridization studies suggested that the gene encoding CGTase is located in different positions in the genomes of P. macerans and P. graminis. aphylogeny aCyclodextrin aCyclodextrin glucanotransferase aNucleotide sequence aPaenibacillus graminis1 aMOTA, F.
