In addition, the wild-type organism or mutants blocked in other trehalose biosynthetic pathways, but still having active TreS, accumulate 10- to 20-fold more glycogen when grown in high concentrations ( 2% or more) of trehalose, but not in glucose or other sugars. Furthermore, trehalose ...
Added UDP or ADP did not affect the conversion rate, or provide UDP- or ADP-[C]glucose from [C]sucrose even when polymerization was prevented by α-amylase. The α-glucan formed from sucrose was glycogen-like (e.g. 48% hydrolyzed to maltose by β-amylase). The branches may be ...
