摘要
Thermostable alkaline a-amylase producing bacterium Bacillus cereus strain isolated from Cuddalore harbour waters grew maximally in both shake flask and fermentor, and produced a-amylase at 35 degrees C, pH 7.5 and 1.0% of substrate concentrations. a-Amylase activity was maximum at 65 degrees C, pH 8.0, 89% of its activity was sustained even at pH 11.0. Added with MnCl2, alpha-amylase activity showed 4% increase but it was inhibited by EDTA. The molecular weight of the purified a-amylase is 42 kDa.
