RESUMO
Bacillus stearothermophilus grew better on complex and semisynthetic medium than on synthetic medium supplemented with amino acids. Amylase production on the complex medium containing beef extract or corn steep liquor was higher than on semisynthetic medium containing peptone (0.4%). The synthetic medium, however, did not provide a good yield of extracellular amylase. Among the carbohydrates which favored the production of amylase are, in order starch > dextrin > glycogen > cellobiose > maltohexaose-maltopeptaose > maltotetraose and maltotriose. The monosaccharides repressed the enzyme production, whereas inositol and d-sorbitol favored amylase production. Organic and inorganic salts increased amylase production in the order of KCI > sodium malate > potassium succinate, while the yield was comparatively lower with other organic salts of Na and K. Amino acids, in particular isoleucine, cysteine, phenylalanine, and aspartic acids, were found to be vital for amylase synthesis. Medium containing CaCl2 2H2O enhanced amylase production over that on Ca2+ -deficient medium. The detergents Tween-80 and Triton X-100 increased biomass but significantly suppressed amylase synthesis. The amylase powder obtained from the culture filtrate by prechilled acetone treatment was stable over a wide pH range and liquefied thick starch slurries at 80°C. The crude amylase, after (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, had an activity of 210.6 U mg−1. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were found to be 82°C and 6.9, respectively. Ca2+ was required for the thermostability of the enzyme preparation.
