10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 2 Issue 2 2011 (April - June) Under different growth conditions such as pH, temperature and metal ions, lessThan i greaterThan Bacillus subtilis lessThan /i greaterThan KCX006 was tested for amylase production and kinetic properties of amylase was determined. The enzyme activity was more in the stationary phase and the value was 21.78 U/mL (at 30 h) and protein content was 0.303 mg/mL. The maximum amylase activity (38 U/mL) was also found at stationary phase when the culture was grown at 37°C. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity with an overall recovery of 24.2% and specific activity of 4133 U/mg. Either acidic or alkaline condition significantly affected the growth and enzyme production. Enzyme activity was more in reaction mixture containing NiCl lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan and its residual activity was found to be 117.5%. These results suggest possible application in food and detergent industries where moderate pH and temperature are employed. K. Amutha And K.
