Biochemical characterization of a raw starch degrading α-amylase from the Indonesian marine bacterium Bacillus sp. ALSHL3
Keyword(s):
AbstractAn Indonesian marine bacterial isolate, which belongs to genus of Bacillus sp. based on 16S rDNA analysis and was identified as Bacillus filicolonicus according to its morphology and physiology, produced a raw starch degrading α-amylase. The partially purified α-amylase using a maize starch affinity method exhibited an optimum pH and temperature of 6.0 and 60°C, respectively. The enzyme retained 72% of its activity in the presence of 1.5 M NaCl. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the α-amylase was capable of degrading starch granules of rice and maize. This α-amylase from Bacillus sp. ALSHL3 was classified as a saccharifying enzyme since its major final degradation product was glucose, maltose, and maltotriose.
