Özet
Aims: This work was achieved to obtain the optimum culture conditions of the thermostable alpha-amylase produced by thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis SO-B3. Furthermore, the alpha-amylase was purified and then characterized, and also its kinetic parameters were determined. Materials and methods: A new thermotolerant bacteria called Bacillus licheniformis SO-B3 employed in this work was isolated from a sample of thermal spring mud in Sirnak (Meyremderesi). Several parameters such as the impact of temperature, time, and pH on enzyme production were examined. Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) was employed to analyze the end-products of soluble starch hydrolysis, and the utilization of purified alpha-amylase in the clarification of unripe apple juices was studied. Key findings: The highest enzyme production conditions were determined as 35 degrees C, 36th hour, and pH 7.0. Thermostable alpha-amylase was purified by 70% ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, and dialysis, with a 51-purification fold and 30% yield recovery. The K-m and V-max values for this enzyme were 0.004 mM and 3.07 mu mol min(-1) at 70 degrees C, respectively. The alpha-amylase's molecular weight was found as 74 kDa. In addition, alpha-amylase showed a good degradation rate for raw starch. Significance: It was hypothesized that Bacillus licheniformis SO-B3 could be used as an alpha-amylase source. These findings displayed that purified enzyme could be utilized in fruit juice industries for clarification of apple juice and raw starch hydrolyzing.
