`
`pullulan (pH 70) solution in 0.1M phosphate
`buffer, water was added to make the total
`
`volume 1mL and the reaction was performed
`

`
`Generally used solid medium and liquid
`medium were used for the cultivation to
`
`produce the enzymes according to the
`
`present invention. The nitrogen source for the
`
`separated from amylase G4, 5 by fractioning
`
`medium for the fluid culture may include
`
`the filtrate of liquid cultivation with ammonium
`
`sulfate and subjecting the fraction to a
`
`peptone, meat extract, yeast extract, casein,
`
`corn steep liquor, and the like;
`
`
`
`the carbon source may include starch, dextrin,
`
`amylase; as the degree of liquefacation can
`
`maltose, glucose, sucrose and the like. Besides the
`aforementioned sources, the medium containing the
`
`significantly affect the yield of maltotetraose and
`
`maltopentaose, the preferred degree of liquefacation
`
`supplementary nutrients such as inorganic nitrogen
`
`of starch, DE (the abbreviation for the dextrose
`
`source, phosphate salts, magnesium salts, metal salts
`
`may be used. The cultivation was performed
`
`aerobically at pH range of 6 to 9 and at the
`
`temperature of 25 to 55°C for 2 to 3 days. Since the
`
`amylase G4, 5 and pullulanase are produced outside
`
`of bacterial organism, after the cultivation, these
`
`equivalent, and is the amount of reducing sugar in a
`solid material that is expressed in terms ofthe amount
`
`of glucose), is 15 or less. In case in which this kind of
`starch is used, the yield of maltotetraose and
`
`maltopentaose will be about 40 to 60%.
`The substrate concentration is usually about 5 to
`
`enzymes can be precipitated by adding an organic
`
`40%. The pH at the time of sugar formation
`
`solvent or a salt to the supernatant solution which was
`
`particularly affects the yield of maltopentaose. That is
`
`separated by a filtration or a centrifugation, or they
`
`can be purified by the purification methods as
`described above.
`
`Next, the condition for the sugar formation from
`starch shall be described.
`
`Before the sugar formation, amylose, amylopectin
`
`or starch is liquefied. This liquefacation may be
`
`performed by usual methods using acids or Cl-
`
`to say, when the pH at the time of sugar formation is
`about 7 or lower, the maltopentaose produced first is
`
`easily decomposed into maltose and maltotriose. it is
`
`preferred to maintain the pH of the reaction mixture at
`about 7.5 or more to suppress the decomposition
`
`reaction. Usually, the reaction is carried out at 40 to
`60°C.
`
`The stability of this enzyme is significantly
`
`Since the pullulanase was also produced in the same
`
`increased by the presence of calcium ion; therefore
`
`medium, the fractions which were precipitated by 90%
`
`for example, about 5 x 10'4M to 2 x 10‘2M of calcium
`
`of ammonium sulfate were collected. The fractions
`
`chloride is added to the reaction mixture at the time of
`
`were dialyzed with distilled water, adsorbed on a
`
`reaction.

`0.025M Tris buffer solution containing 0.2M KCl, and
`
`explained by referring to the embodiments.

`
`consisting of polypeptone 8 (made of soybean,
`
`enzyme solution and 5 x 10'3M of calcium chloride
`
`available from Wako Pure Chemical industries Ltd.,)
`
`were added to 19 of starch having DE of 8.05 and the

`
`was carried out for 24 hours at 50”C. The sugar
`
`Erlenmeyer flask and the medium was disinfected
`
`composition and components ofthe resulting
`
`according to a conventional method. Then Bacillus
`
`decomposition products of starch were analyzed and
`
`circulans G45 (PERM-P 6237) was seeded onto the
`
`separated by using a high—performance liquid
`
`medium and cultivated for 2 days at 30°C. After the

`
`centrifugation, and the resulting supernatant solution

`acetonitrile 65%+water 35%). As a result, the sugar
`
`was measured in terms of amylase G4, 5. As a result,
`
`composition was as follows:
