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 …

Bioprocessing of Used X-ray Films for Silver Recovery by Thermoalkaliphilic Protease from Thermus aquaticus YT-1
Abstract: An environmentally benign enzymatic method for recovery of silver and polyethylene from used X-ray films was developed. This industrially scalable enzymatic process for the recovery of silver was investigated using the thermophilic alkaline protease from Thermus aquaticus YT-1. The rate of gelatin hydrolysis of X-ray film increased with the temperature till 70 ºC, suggesting enzyme stability till 70 ºC. Further, pH 10 was optimum for this process. Transparent polyethylene film …

Biochemical and Kinetic Investigations of Partially Purified Thermostable Acid Phosphatases from Solanum tuberosum and Citrus limonium
Abstract: Biochemical and kinetic properties of partially purified thermostable acid phosphatases from Solanum tuberosum and Citrus limonium involving ammonium sulphate fractionation have been investigated. The maximum specific activity in Solanum tuberosum and Citrus limonium was found in 40–80% (ACP I) and 0–40% (ACP II) fractions, respectively. The specific activities of ACP I and ACP II were 46.01 and 48.00 units mg − 1 with Km values of 1.00 and 2.50 mM, …
