Pullulanase ... is more correctly named pullulan-6-glucanohydrolase, so called because it hydrolyzes the linear polysaccharide pullulan. Klebsiella pneumonia is the commercial source of pullulanase from which it is secreted during growth, although a portion of the enzyme appears to be cell-bound. Starch with a high amylopectin content is used as the substrate to induce the enzyme. Other sources include Bacillus spp and Aerobacter aerogenes.... The best known commercial application is in brewing.
