Iranian researchers discovered new bacteria, Bacillus spizizenii, that produce large amounts of a starch-breaking enzyme.

Amylases are important enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates to simple sugar molecules. They are important for digesting food and allowing the body mobilize carbohydrates for metabolism.

When humans domesticated grains some 12,000 years ago, natural selection began to favor genomes with extra genes encoding for the enzyme amylase, which converts starch to sugar. These extra genes ...

New research offers insight into the evolutionary history of amylase genes, which are key to our ability to eat and digest starchy food. A study found that human ancestors started carrying multiple ...

Two new studies found that ancient human ancestors carried a surprising diversity of genes for amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch. By Carl Zimmer As soon as you put starch in your mouth — ...
