Abstract: | Production of alkaline alpha-amylase employing our laboratory isolate, Bacillus sp., under solid state fermentation, was optimized. The effect of wheat bran and lentil husk was examined. Lentil husk exhibited the highest enzyme production. The appropriate incubation time, inoculum size, moisture level, and buffer solution level were determined. Maximum yields of 216,000 and 172,800 U/g were achieved by employing lentil husk and wheat bran as substrates in 0.1 M carbonate/bicarbonate buffer at pH 10.0 with 30% initial moisture level at 24 h. Inoculum size and buffer solution level were found to be 20% and 1:0.5 for two solid substrates. |
