The production of α-amylase, pullulanase, and α-glucosidase and the formation of fermentation products by the newly isolated thermophilicClostridium sp. strain EM1 were investigated in continuous culture with a defined medium and an incubation temperature of 60°C. Enzyme production and excretion were greatly influenced by the dilution rate and the pH of the medium. The optimal values for the formation of starch-hydrolyzing enzymes were a pH of 5.9 and a dilution rate of 0.075 to 0.10 per h. Increase of the dilution rate from 0.1 to 0.3 per h caused a drastic drop in enzyme production. The ethanol concentration and optical density of the culture, however, remained almost constant. Growth limitation in the chemostat with 1% (wt/vol) starch was found optimal for enzyme production. Under these conditions 2,800 U of pullulanase per liter and 1,450 U of α-amylase per liter were produced; the amounts excreted were 70 and 55%, respectively.
