the Shigelladysenteriaetype7O-specificpolysaccharide, in addition to the previously reported 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galacturonic acid. On the basis of selective cleavage with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and analysis by 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy and f.a.b.-mass spectrometry, it was concluded that the tetrasaccharide repeating-unit of the polysaccharide has

The invention relates to a recombinant DNA molecule which comprises genes for biosynthesizing acarbose and homologous pseudo-oligosaccharides; to oligonucleotide primers for the PCR amplification of the molecule; to proteins which can be obtained by expressing the genes located on a molecule; to vectors and host cells which comprise the above-mentioned DNA molecule; to proteins which are encoded by the DNA molecule; to proteins which are expressed by means of said vectors in said host cells; to processes for preparing acarbose by introducing the characterized genes into appropriate host organisms and/or eliminating these genes from the host organisms; to processes for completing the gene cluster of genes for biosynthesizing acarbose, to processes for isolating analogous gene clusters in organisms other than
Streptomyces glaucescens
GLA.O, to processes for mutating promoters of endogenous acarbose biosynthesis genes for the purpose of increasing the yield of acarbose, to the use of
Streptomyces glaucescens
GLA.O for preparing acarbose and for preparing mutants of
Streptomyces glaucescens
GLA.O which are optimized with regard to the acarbose yield.
The invention provides a method of screening for a property of a glycosyl hydrolase wherein the property is dependent on the concentration of the glycosyl hydrolase. The method comprises a step for determining the concentration of the glycosyl hydrolase by active site titration.
