[Review: Symposium on Amylases and Related Enzymes] Thermostable β-Amylase from <i>Bacillus flexus</i>

Thermostable α-amylase from Lignocellulosic Residues Using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Production of Thermostable α-Amylase and Cellulase from Cellulomonas sp

A bacterium, isolated from rabbit’s waste and identified as Cellulomonas sp., had cellulase and thermostable α-amylase activity when grown on wheat bran. Maximum activity of thermostable α-amylase was obtained by adding 3% soluble starch. However, soybean oil (1 ml l) could increase the production of α-amylase and cellulase in wheat bran. The α-amylase was characterized by making a demonstratio...

Thermophilic Bacillus Licheniformis Rbs 5 Isolated from Hot Tunisian Spring Co-producing Alkaline and Thermostable Α-amylase and Protease Enzymes

Production of a thermostable extracellular amylase from thermophilic Bacillus species

Isolation and identification of thermophilic Bacillus sp was carried out from a soil sample. The cells were cultivated in a medium containing soluble starch as sole carbon source. The addition of calcium (10 mM) or peptone (1%) and yeast extract (0.5%) to the medium shortened the lag period and improved the growth and amylase synthesis. The optimum temperature for amylase production was detecte...

survey. Seventy-three of the organisms were urinary-tract isolates, 14 respiratory tract isolates, and 27 were isolated from other sites. Two-thirds of the 97 patients studied in detail had been in hospital for more than seven days and three-quarters had been on antibiotic therapy before Serratia marcescens was first isolated. Details of antibiotics used before the first isolation of Serratia m...
