Abstract

A α-amylase producing strain was isolated and identified as Bacillus subtilis.After the treatments of UV and UV-LiCl,a high-producing α-amylase mutant(XLG-51) was obtained.Further study showed that the α-amylase produced by XLG-51 was fairly thermo stable and acid stable,and the optimum temperature and pH were 60℃ and 5.5 respectively.SDS-starch-PAGE electrophoresis and enzymography analysis revealed that the enzyme had a molecular weight of about 60 ku.Furthermore,the experiment was amplified on 5 L fermentor and the yield of enzyme activity was 5298 U/mL.
