Aspergillus kawachii produces an inulinase in cultures with yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) as substrate
Background: Inulinases have been extracted and characterized from inulin-storing tissues; however, production of microbial inulinases have recently draw much attention as they offer several industrial advantages. Many microorganisms, including filamentous fungi, yeast and bacteria have been claimed...
