Production and Characterization of Thermostable Amylase Produced from Spore Former Thermophilic Bacilli Isolated and Screened from Teff (Eragrostis teff) Starch Rich Soil
Abstract: There is a need to isolate and screen amylase-producing bacilli bacteria from soil rich in content of teff starch at high temperature environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to isolate and screen amylase-producing bacilli isolates and characterization of their optimal amylase activities. Amylase-producing bacilli were isolated and their enzymes characterized. Effect of temperature, pH, substrate and salt concentration were determined. All isolates have clear zone over 15 mm …

Cost effective method of protease production in solid state fermentation by using combined substrate corn cob and lentil husk
Abstract: AbstractAn alkalophilic Bacillus cereus strain was found to produce a thermal and pH tolerant extracellular alkaline protease which showed very good compatibility and stability with commercial laundry detergents. Considering important industrial application of B. cereus protease, its production was need to be enhanced. Different agro-industrial waste products viz. wheat bran, lentil husk, green gram husk and corn cob were used as substrates for the production of B. cereus protease by …
