Abstract

The raw a-amylase Produced by Bacillus c«eus 306
'o by and
chrornohgrgphy. The Molecular weight of a-amylose wos estimated
58KDo. enzyme displayedmaximum activity 85 Unifs/rn' pH
of 5.0-9.0. Ach.•åy was inhibited in the pæsence Of Hg'v, Cua•.
no inhibition u•os Observed in the presence Of Zn?•. Medium

Ca2*deiicient medium. The deiergen' Tween-80 ond Iraon
increased Biomass but Significantly Suppressed amylose production.
The enzynE released large of glucose and maltose on
