The raw a-amylase Produced by Bacillus c«eus 306 'o by and chrornohgrgphy. The Molecular weight of a-amylose wos estimated 58KDo. enzyme displayedmaximum activity 85 Unifs/rn' pH of 5.0-9.0. Ach.•åy was inhibited in the pæsence Of Hg'v, Cua•. no inhibition u•os Observed in the presence Of Zn?•. Medium containirv CaCJ2.2HaO enhanced amylase production over 'hat on Ca2*deiicient medium. The deiergen' Tween-80 ond Iraon increased Biomass but Significantly Suppressed amylose production. The enzynE released large of glucose and maltose on Fo•drdysis of starch
