Description 697-703
Bacteria have been regarded as treasure of many
useful enzymes viz., amylases,
proteases, lipases, hydrolases and reductases.. 
Bacteria screened during the study (Aug., 2008 - Jun., 2010) were of Bacillus species. Out of 1618 isolates,
143 isolates exhibited 3-11mm clear zone of starch hydrolysis, 17 exhibited
above 11mm and the rest of them yielded less than 3mm zone. By determining the
α-amylase production of the isolates by 3, 5-Dinitro salicylic acid method, the high yielding 17 isolates were
observed. The highly potent α-amylase producing bacteria would prove promising
results in bakery, food, fodder for poultry, automation dishwashing and laundry
industries.  α-amylase was also useful in
solving the problem of water pollution of industrial effluents and sewage water
by hydrolyzing the substrates.
