Production and Characterization of α-Amylase from Indigenously Isolated Streptomyces sp.

Streptomyces species have been exploited widely as microbial cell factories, especially for antibiotic production. However, their potential for alpha-amylase production has not been extensively studied. This study reports the isolation, molecular identification, and optimization of the physiological...

description Streptomyces species have been exploited widely as microbial cell factories, especially for antibiotic production. However, their potential for alpha-amylase production has not been extensively studied. This study reports the isolation, molecular identification, and optimization of the physiological conditions for alpha-amylase production from Streptomyces sp., isolated from soil in Kotli Azad Kashmir. The maximum growth of Streptomyces MI-1 was observed at a neutral pH and a temperature of 35 °C. An amylase activity of 1.15 IU/mL was observed when 4% starch was added to the nutrient medium. During the submerged state fermentation, the maximum amylase activity of 2.136 IU/mL/min was observed after 144 h of incubation. The characterization of bacterial amylase revealed an optimum temperature of 40 °C, and its optimum pH was 7.0. Furthermore, during the study, examining the effect of different metal ions found that Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions had a positive effect, while Cu2+ and Fe2+ ions had an inhibitory effect compared to the control. This preliminary study provides basal line information for the discovery of novel microbes from the unexplored natural resources for amylase production, which will be used for many purposes.
