Optimization of extraction parameters for recovery of a-amylase from the fermented bran of Bacillus circulans GRS313

The extraction of alpha-amylase in the solid state fermentation of wheat bran by Bacillus circulans GRS313 was optimized. Among various solvents tested, maximum extraction was achieved when 2.5% (v/v) glycerol was added. The optimum conditions for extraction were 2.5 hrs soaking time at 30° C under...
