The many enzymes produced by Aspergillus Oryzae

These are my (incomplete and possibly inaccurate) notes on the enzymes found in Aspergillus Oryzae. Will be updated occasionally.

Enzyme Optimal Activity Temp (℃) Optimal Activity pH Mineral required? Notes Papers
⍺-Amylases 50-70 4-5 50ppm calcium endo-1,4-D-glucan glucohydrolase; extracellular; cuts starches at random places; requires atleast 3 glucose units in length; https://sci-hub.tw//10.1016/S1369-703X(02)00192-4https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/1254/2016/05/tang83.pdf; Fennema
Glucoamylase (amyloglucosidase, 𝛄-amylase) 55-60 3.5-4.5   exo-1,4-⍺-D-glucan glucanhydrolase Fennema
lipase 24       https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0922338X94901163
lactase (β-galactosidase) 55-60 2.5-5.0   Most lactase needs Mg, not fungi though. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f189/0e827656af38c55fa417590cf38da242280e.pdfhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/bit.260240207https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/0168-1656(90)90065-Jhttps://sci-hub.tw/10.1111/j.1365-2621.1979.tb10016.x
β-glucosidase 50 4.0   cuts terminal glucose in cellulose https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1389172302800950; https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/S1389-1723(02)80095-0
endo-1,4-β-glucanases 50-60 3.5-4.5   cuts cellulose in the middle https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1389172302800950https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/S1389-1723(02)80095-0
tanninase          
acid protease 37 (need more research) 4.0     https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1165373/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jib.427
alkaline protease (Oryzin)       predominant extracellular alkaline endopeptidase; serine  
all proteases 45-60     activity drops quickly with more salt, and prolonged time at temperatures above 55C https://sci-hub.tw/10.1021/jf0486390
glutaminase          
keratinase          
limit-dextrinase (pullulanase)       cuts the alpha-1,6 bonds in branched dextrins (from amylopectin)
