Abstract

α-Amylase from Bacillus sp. K2Br5, a bacterium isolated from the Rhizosphere soil, Citatah Karst region, is partially purified by 60% ammonium sulfate precipitation. It displays optimum activity at pH 6.0 and temperature 40 ºC. The presence of Zn2+ and Ca2+ metal ions increased the activity of α-amylase, whereas Cu2+, Na+ and Mn+ metal ions and EDTA as chelating agent decreased the activity of α-amylase. Futhermore, the addition of acarbose as inhibitor and NaCl decreased enzyme activity. α-Amylase from Bacillus sp. K2Br5 showed ability to degrade wheat, rice, cassava, potato and corn starches with adsorption percentage in the range of 29-69%. Wheat has the highest degree of hydrolysis followed by corn, rice, cassava and potato, consecutively at relative low temperatures. Meanwhile, rice has the highest adsorption percentage. The results show α-amylase from Bacillus sp. K2Br5 is a good candidate for low temperature starch processing.
