Purification and characterization of the heat-labile α-amylase secreted by the psychrophilic bacterium TAC 240B
A total of 59 bacteria samples from Antarctic sea water were collected and screened for their ability to produce α-amylase. The highest activity was recorded from an isolate identified as an Alteromonas species. The purified α-amylase shows a molecular mass of about 50 000 Da and a pI of 5.2. The en...
