A thermophilic strain, BTPS-2 was isolated from Bhurung geothermal spring of Nepal. The 16 s rRNA sequence showed 99.8 % similarity with the type strain DSM 3670. The morphological, physiological and biochemical properties were similar to the type strain. Alpha-amylase from BTPS-2 was purified to 19-fold purification by DEAE-Cellulose ion exchange chromatography. The K value of amylase on starch was 0.51 ± 0.05 mg/mL. The optimum pH and temperature were 7.0 and 70 °C. SDS-PAGE analysis showed a single band at 100 kDa. The half-life of the enzyme at 80 °C was 2.81 h. The enzyme showed an inhibitory effect in the presence of Fe, Pb, Sn and Hg at 10 mM concentrations. TLC analysis showed that the enzyme is a liquifying alpha-amylase. The enzyme reduced the viscosity of algal biomass suspension up to 74.2 ± 0.17 % which was more efficient than alpha-amylase (80.5 ± 0.2 %).
从尼泊尔布隆地热泉中分离出嗜热菌株BTPS - 2。其16 s rRNA序列与模式菌株DSM 3670显示出99.8%的相似性。形态、生理和生化特性与模式菌株相似。通过DEAE -纤维素离子交换色谱法将来自BTPS - 2的α -淀粉酶纯化至19倍。淀粉酶对淀粉的K值为0.51±0.05 mg/mL。最适pH和温度分别为7.0和70°C。SDS - PAGE分析在100 kDa处显示单一条带。该酶在80°C下的半衰期为2.81 h。在10 mM浓度的铁、铅、锡和汞存在下,该酶表现出抑制作用。TLC分析表明该酶是一种液化α -淀粉酶。该酶将藻类生物质悬浮液的粘度降低了74.2±0.17%,比α -淀粉酶(80.5±0.2%)更有效。
