Abstract

The alpha-amylase produced by Brevibacillus borstelensis R1 has a number of applications in many fields such as bakery industry, food preparations, automation dishwashing, ethyl alcohol dual fermentation, sago and rice industrial effluent treatment, sewage water treatment, fodder production, laundry and textile industries. The effect of activators such as CaCl2, MgCl2, MgSO4, NaCl, CaCO3 and CaSO4 on partially purified enzyme activity was studied. All the activators studied enhanced the activity of the enzyme when compared with the control. The percentage of increase in α-amylase activity when treated with (0.5M CaSO4), (0.5M CaCO3), (0.5M NaCl), (0.5M CaCl2), (0.2M MgS04) and (0.1M MgCl2) was 23.72%, 22.03%, 21.08%, 20.53%, 18.8% and 5.93% respectively.
