Abstract
The enzymes of Bacillus macerans that participate in the formation and degradation of Schardinger dextrins were shown to be intracellular. Bacillus macerans amylase converts starch into cyclic dextrins. A newly discovered enzyme, cyclodextrinase, catalyzes the degradation of cyclic dextrins.Keywords
