Isolation and identification of alpha-amylase producing Bacillus sp. from dhal industry waste. Indian Journal of Biochemistry & Biophysics. 2006 Oct; 43(5): 295-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/28831A bacterial strain was isolated from dhal industry red gram waste and identified as Bacillus. A thermostable extracellular amylase was partially purified from the strain. Optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme were found to be 60 degrees C and 6.5, respectively. The maximum amylase production was achieved with maltose as carbon source. Among the nitrogen sources, peptone and yeast extract produced maximum amylase.engAmylases --chemistryBacillus --enzymologyBiotechnology --methodsCarbon --chemistryFood Industry --methodsHydrogen-Ion ConcentrationIndustrial WasteIndustryOligosaccharides --chemistryStarchTemperaturealpha-Amylases --metabolismJournal Article
