Random mutagenesis of super Koji (Aspergillus oryzae): improvement in production and thermal stability of α-amylases for maltose syrup production.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlpha-amylases hydrolyze 1,4 α-glycosidic bonds of starch and produce malto-oligosaccharides. It is an important enzyme generally applied in textile, food and brewing industries. Enhancement in thermal stability and productivity of enzymes are the two most sought after properties for industrial use. The Aspergillus oryzae (Koji) has Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status and safe for use in food industry. Hence, Koji strain's development for the screening of potent mutants, hyper producer of thermostable α-amylases, with desired attributes is the need of the time.
resultsA process has been developed to improve super Koji (A. oryzae cmc1) strain through γ-rays treatment. The doses i.e. 0.60, 0.80, 1.00, 1.20 & 1.40 KGy gave more than 3.0 log kill. Initially, 52 Koji mutants resistant to 1% (w/v) Triton X-100 were selected. 2
conclusionIt was concluded that the developed five step screening process has great potential to generate potent mutants for the hyper production of thermostable enzymes through γ-rays mediated physical mutagenesis. The developed thermostable α-amylases of super Koji mutantM-100(6) has immense potential for application in saccharification process for maltose syrup production. Moreover, the developed five step strain's development process may be used for the simultaneous improvement in productivity and thermal stability of other microbial enzymes.
