Abstract
The invention provides a gene (isolated nucleic acid molecule) encoding the cyclodextrin glucanotransferase which produces a considerable amount of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) from the substrates selected from among starch and starch decomposition products such as dextrin, amylopectin and amylose; recombinant plasmids comprising this gene; transformants transformed with the recombinant plasmid; methods of manufacturing the cyclodextrin glucanotransferase by employing these transformants to act upon the substrates selected from among starch and decomposition products thereof and causing the production of γ-CD as a main product; and methods of manufacturing γ-CD and CD-comprising compositions having a desired CD balance (α-, β- and γ-CD balance) employing this recombinant cyclodextrin glucanotransferase.
