Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase is an extracellular enzyme which has been detected in a number of bacteria, mainly Bacillus, but also Paenibaciilus, Klebsiella, Thermoanaerobacterium, Thermoanaerobacter species and Actinomycetes [32], Nearly 30 CGTase genes have been isolated since the first identification of this gene in B. macerans and several of the enzymes have been identified and biochemically characterized [33],...

PPj can also serve as a source of energy for growth in the presence of fixed carbon (acetate and yeast extract) of anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria belonging to the genus Desulfotomaculum [53,54] as well as other anaerobic microorganisms like the thermophilic fermentative anaerobe Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus [55] and a new species of Clostridium [56]. 

Cyclodextrins (see Chap. 5) can be prepared in one step from starch using a recombinant enzyme based on a thermophilic bacterium, a species of Thermoanaerobacter,254 Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from Bacillus macerans and other organisms can also be used.255...
