Highly thermostable and alkaline α-amylase from a halotolerant-alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. AB68

Abstract: An alkaliphilic and highly thermostable α-amylase producing Bacillus sp. was isolated from Van soda lake. Enzyme synthesis occurred at temperatures between 25ºC and 40ºC. Analysis of the enzyme by SDS-PAGE revealed a single band which was estimated to be 66 kDa. The enzyme was active in a broad temperature range, between 20ºC and 90ºC, with an optimum at 50ºC; and maximum activity was at pH 10.5. The enzyme was almost completely stable up to 80ºC with a remaining activity over 90% after 30 min pre-incubation. … Show more

“…It was also found that 1% SDS inhibited the amylase activity by 89%. Aygan et al (2008) reported that SDS was the most effective effector that shows the proportion of the hydrophobic amino acid composition of the enzyme. Chai et al (2012) determined that the α-amylase activity was strongly inhibited in the presence of 1% SDS.…”

“…Amylases of almost similar molecular weight have been reported from B. cereus NY-14 (Yoshigi et al, 1985), Bacillus subtilis (Uyar et al, 2003), and Bacillus sp. AB 68 (Aygan et al, 2008). Endoamylases are almost exclusively single subunit proteins, however, some amylases especially those having large molecular weight are found to possess more than one subunit as reported in Pyrococcus furiosus (Laderman et al, 1993) and Bacillus sp.…”

“…Thermostable amylases having temperature optima between 50 to 60°C have also been isolated from a number of sources including Bifidobacterium adolescentis (Lee et al, 1997), Aspergillus oryzea (Ramachandran et al, 2004), B. subtilis (Bezerra et al, 2006) and Bacillus sp. AB68 (Aygan et al, 2008). The themostable alpha amylases isolated from various species of Bacillus have been preferred for use in starch processing industry (Nigam and Singh, 1995) Figure 3B depicts that enzyme had maximum activity at pH 5.5 (358.84 U/ mL).…”

“…After developing the products with a solvent system of butanol-acetic acid-water (3:1:1) by volume, the spots were visualized by spraying it with 20% Sulphuric acid in ethanol and baking it in an oven at 120 ºC for 30 min. The procedure of Aygan et al, (2008) with slight modification was followed.…”
