Abstract

This paper describes the purification and characterization of a novel acidophile -amylase from newly isolated Bacillus sp. Ferdowsicous. The enzyme displayed a molecular weight of 53 kDa and it was stable over a range of pH from 3.5 to 7 with an optimum around 4.5. The optimum temperature for activity was found to be around 70 ◦C and the enzyme remained active to more than 75% up to 75 ◦C for 45 min. The enzyme activity was decreased by Zn2+andEDTAbut inhibited byHg2+, whereas the activity was increased by approximately 15% by Ba2+ and Fe2+. Na+, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, PMSF, Triton X-100 and mercaptoethanol had any considerable effect on its activity. The enzyme activity on the amylose as substrate was 1.98 times greater than amylopectin. Partial N-terminal sequencing demonstrated no significant similarity with other known alpha-amylases, indicating that the presented enzyme was new. Considering its promising properties, this enzyme can find potential applications in the food industry as well as in laundry detergents.
