A 4-α-Glucanotransferase from Thermus thermophilus HB8: Secretory Expression and Characterization.

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
4-α-glucanotransferase (4GT, EC 2.4.1.25) catalyzes the breakdown of the α-1,4 glycosidic bonds of the starch main chain and forms new α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in the side chain, which is often used to optimize the physical and chemical properties of starch and to improve the quality of starch-based food. However, the low enzyme activity of 4GT limits its production and widespread application. Herein, the 4GT gene encoding 500 amino acids from Thermus thermophilus HB8 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified 4GT exhibited maximum activity at pH 7.0 and 60 °C and had a good stability at pH 6.0-8.0 and 30-60 °C. It was confirmed that 4GT possessed the catalytic function of extending the branch length of potato starch. Furthermore, the 4GT gene was successfully expressed extracellularly in Bacillus subtilis. Then, the enzyme yield of 4GT increased by 4.1 times through screening of different plasmids and hosts. Additionally, the fermentation conditions were optimized to enhance 4GT extracellular enzyme yield. Finally, a recombinant Bacillus subtilis with 299.9 U/mL enzyme yield of 4GT was obtained under the optimized fermentation process. In conclusion, this study provides a valuable reference for characterization and expression of food-grade enzymes.
