In silico and structural analysis of Bacillus licheniformis FAO.CP7 pullulanase isolated from cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) pod waste.

ABSTRACT: Pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41) is an important debranching enzyme that plays a critical role in maximizing the abundant energy present in branched polysaccharides. Its unique ability to efficiently degrade branched polysaccharides makes it crucial in industries like biofuels, food, and pharmaceuticals. Therefore, discovering microbes that produce pullulanase and thrive in harsh industrial conditions holds significant potential for optimizing large-scale bioprocessing. This unique property has made pullulanase an important enzyme in the industry. Thus, the search for microbes that have the pullulanase production properties and capacity to withstand harsh industrial conditions will be of high industrial relevance. Therefore, this study aimed to amplify, sequence, and molecularly characterize the
