Abstract

Purified alpha-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis M27, produced using solid state fermentation, showed novel characteristics as compared with those reported by other workers for purified alpha-amylases from B. licheniformis obtained by submerged fermentation. Novel characteristics of the enzyme from B. licheniformis M27 include: 2 peaks for pH optima at 6.5-7.0 and 8.5-9.0; a gradual loss of activity to about 86% between pH 7.0 and 7.5 followed by an increase to full activity between 7.5 and 8.5; temp. optimum at 85-90
