Three Bacillus species producing amylase enzymes were isolated from soil and identified using genetic analysis, with Bacillus subtilis showing the highest activity levels.
Amylase production was measured at around 10 U/mL, with total protein at 15 mg/mL, and the enzyme activity was enhanced by 58% through combined treatments of ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) and ultraviolet (UV) light.
The study demonstrates that B. subtilis subtilis can be effectively utilized in industrial applications for producing amylase, highlighting a novel method to increase enzyme activity.
