Abstract
A thermostable mannose isomerase generated from a bacterium belonging to the genus, excellent in thermostability, capable of being continuously used at a temperature of 55° C. to 60° C. for a prolonged period of time, and has, for example, the following enzymatic properties: (a) function: converts D-mannose to D-fructose and vice versa; (b) substrate specificity: isomerizes the aldoses D-mannose and D-lyxose to their corresponding kitoses, but does not interact with D-glucose, D-galactose, L-mannose, D-xylose, L-xylose, D-arabinose, L-arabinose or D-ribose; (c) optimum pH: 7.5 to 8.5; (d) optimum temperature: 55° C. to 60° C.; and (e) stable pH: 6.0 to 10.0, is provided.
