Thermostable, Raw-Starch-Digesting Amylase from Bacillus stearothermophilus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An endospore-forming thermophilic bacterium, which produced amylase and was identified as Bacillus stearothermophilus, was isolated from soil. The amylase had an optimum temperature of 70 degrees C and strongly degraded wheat starch granules (93%) and potato starch granules (80%) at 60 degrees C.

Solid State Fermentation of a Raw Starch Digesting Alkaline Alpha-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis RT7PE1 and Its Characteristics
The thermodynamic and kinetic properties of solids state raw starch digesting alpha amylase from newly isolated Bacillus licheniformis RT7PE1 strain were studied. The kinetic values Q p , Y p/s , Y p/X , and q p were proved to be best with 15% wheat bran. The molecular weight of purified enzyme was 112 kDa. The apparent K m and V max values for starch were 3.4 mg mL(-1) and 19.5 IU mg(-1) prote...
متن کاملOccurrence of an Affinity Site apart from the Active Site on the Raw-Starch-Digesting but Non-Raw-Starch-Adsorbable Bacillus subtilis 65 alpha-Amylase.
alpha-Cyclodextrin specifically inhibited raw starch digestion by Bacillus subtilis 65 alpha-amylase. The raw starch digestibility and alpha-cyclodextrin-Sepharose 6B adsorbability of this alpha-amylase were simultaneously lost when the specific domain corresponding to the affinity site essential for raw starch digestion was deleted by proteolysis. Occurrence of the affinity site on raw-starch-...
متن کاملRaw-starch-digesting and thermostable alpha-amylase from the yeast Cryptococcus sp. S-2: purification, characterization, cloning and sequencing.
A starch-degrading enzyme produced by the yeast Cryptococcus sp. S-2 was purified in only one step by using an alpha-cyclodextrin-Sepharose 6B column, and was characterized as an alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1). The molecular mass and isoelectric point of purified alpha-amylase (AMY-CS2) were estimated to be 66 kDa and 4.2 respectively. AMY-CS2 has raw-starch-digesting and raw-starch-absorbing activ...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Thermostable alpha-Amylase Gene from Bacillus stearothermophilus in Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis.
The structural gene for a thermostable alpha-amylase from Bacillus stearothermophilus was cloned in plasmids pTB90 and pTB53. It was expressed in both B. stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis. B. stearothermophilus carrying the recombinant plasmid produced about fivefold more alpha-amylase (20.9 U/mg of dry cells) than did the wild-type strain of B. stearothermophilus. Some properties of the...
متن کاملCulture Conditions for Production of Thermostable Amylase by Bacillus stearothermophilus.
Bacillus stearothermophilus grew better on complex and semisynthetic medium than on synthetic medium supplemented with amino acids. Amylase production on the complex medium containing beef extract or corn steep liquor was higher than on semisynthetic medium containing peptone (0.4%). The synthetic medium, however, did not provide a good yield of extracellular amylase. Among the carbohydrates wh...
