Enzymes are the large biomolecules that are required for the numerous chemical
interconversions that sustain life. They accelerate all the metabolic processes in the body …

Amylases are enzymes which hydrolyze the starch molecules into polymers composed of
glucose units. α-Amylases are ubiquitous in distribution, with plants, bacteria and fungi …

A thermostable alkaline α-amylase producing Bacillus sp. ANT-6 was isolated from soil
samples. Enzyme synthesis occurred at temperatures between 25 and 45° C with an …

A newly isolated Bacillus subtilis JS-2004 strain was cultured in liquid media containing
waste potato starch to produce α-amylase. The effect of calcium, yeast extract and glucose …

Background. Microbial and fungal cellulases are known to hydrolyse cellulose, which is
ingested as plant material by herbivorous/omnivorous fishes. Microbial enzymes have …

There is a wide range of biotechnological applications for amylases, including the textile,
pharmaceutical, food and laundry industries. Hydrolytic enzymes are 100% biodegradable …

A thermostable alkaline α-amylase producing Bacillus sp. A3-15 was isolated from compost
samples. There was a slight variation in amylase synthesis within the pH range 6.0 and 12.0 …

In this study, we have reported novel α-amylase enzyme from less extensively studied
marine Streptomyces sp. D1. Enzyme production was determined by using media containing …

Studies on the alpha-amylase production were carried out with a bacterial strain isolated
from a soil sample. The cells were cultivated in a mineral medium containing soluble starch …

Amylases are digestive enzymes which hydrolyze glycosidic bonds in starch to glucose,
maltose, maltotriose and dextrin. They have a lot of potential applications in both food and …
