TAILIEUCHUNG - Effects of carbon sources and various chemicals on the production of a novel amylase from a thermophilic Bacillus sp. K-12

The amylase producer thermophilic Bacillus sp. K-12 was isolated from soil samples from Zeytinli hot spring in Kahramanmarafl. Enzyme synthesis occurred at 20-55 ºC with an optimum of 42 ºC. There was a slight variation in amylase synthesis within the pH range . | Turk J Biol 29 (2005) 99-103 © TÜB‹TAK Effects of Carbon Sources and Various Chemicals on the Production of a Novel Amylase from a Thermophilic Bacillus sp.

K-12 was isolated from soil samples from Zeytinli hot spring in Kahramanmarafl. Enzyme synthesis occurred at 20-55 ºC with an optimum of 42 ºC. There was a slight variation in amylase synthesis within the pH range . Effects of various carbon sources and chemicals on α-amylase production were examined and maximum α-amylase production was obtained in a medium containing 1% starch in 60 h. MnSO4, ZnSO4 and EDTA inhibited α-amylase production of Bacillus sp. K-12. Key Words: Thermostable, Amylase, Bacillus Termofilik Bacillus sp. K-12’nin, Yeni Bir Amilaz Üretimi Üzerine Karbon Kaynaklar› ve Çeflitli Kimyasallar›n Etkisi Özet: Amilaz üreticisi termofilik Bacillus sp. K-12 suflu Kahramanmarafl’ta bulunan Zeytinli Il›cas›’ndan al›nan toprak örneklerinden izole edilmifltir. Enzim sentezi 20-55 ºC s›cakl›klar› aras›nda gerçekleflirken optimum s›cakl›k 42 ºC olarak bulunmufltur. Amilaz sentezinde 4,5-10,5 pH aral›klar›nda de¤iflimler görülmüfltür. Amilaz üretimi üzerine çeflitli karbon kaynaklar› ve kimyasallar›n etkisi incelenmifltir. Maksimum α-amilaz üretimi %1 niflasta içeren besiyerinde 60. saatte elde edilmifltir. MnSO4, ZnSO4 ve EDTA, Bacillus sp. K-12’in amilaz üretimini inhibe etti¤i görülmüfltür.
