Thermostable α-amylase is a potential enzyme employed in the starch processing and widely used in food industries, but this enzyme is still imported. The local enzyme production would be more economist and useful for its broad applications. Here we report α-amylase from indigenous bacteria TII-12 which was purified and characterized, as well as analyzed its hydrolysis product on cassava starch. The enzyme of Bacillus stearothermophilus TII-12 partially purified by ultrafiltration, acetone precipitation and gel filtration (Sephadex G-100) showed the reduced total activity, total protein and yield, but increased the specific activity. The enzyme had a K m of 1,06 mg/ml and V max of 1,21 mol/min, with optimal activity at pH 7 and 90 o C. An apparent molecular mass was of 192.932,8 Dalton, as estimated by Native-Polyacrylamide Agarose Gel electrophoresis. Its activity was inhibited by the divalent cation chelator such as EDTA and CuSO 4 but activated by calcium ion. Hydrolysis products of this enzyme on cassava starch were glucose, dextrin, maltose and oligosaccharides. After 24 hours of hydrolysis, the concentration of glucose and maltose reached 51.970 and 10.090 ppm, respectively. The thermostable α-amylase of TII-12 is an endo-α-amylase and prospective to be applied on starch liquefaction with high temperature process.Keywords: Bacillus stearothermophilus, characterization, purification, thermostable α-amylase.
ABSTRAK Purifikasi dan Karakterisasi α-amilase Termostabil dariBacillus stearothermophilus TII-12. Puji Lestari, Nur Richana, Abdul A. Darwis, Khaswar Syamsu, dan Untung Murdiyatmo. α-amilase termostabil merupakan enzim potensial yang banyak digunakan dalam pengolahan pati dan industri makanan, namun demikian enzim ini masih diimpor. Produksi enzim lokal akan menjadikan lebih ekonomis dan bermanfaat untuk aplikasinya secara lebih luas.
Hak Cipta © 2011, BB-BiogenStudi ini melaporkan pemurnian, karakterisasi, dan analisis produk hidrolisis α-amilase dari bakteri TII-12 pada pati ubi kayu. Enzim dari Bacillus stearothermophilus TII-12 yang dimurnikan secara parsial dengan ultrafiltrasi, pengendapan aseton, dan gel filtrasi (Sephadex G-100) menunjukkan penurunan aktivitas total, protein total, dan rendemen, tetapi aktivitas spesifik meningkat. Enzim ini mempunyai K m sebesar 1,06 mg ml dan V max adalah 1,21 mol/menit, dengan aktivitas optimal pada pH 7,0 dan 90 o C. Berdasarkan estimasi menggunakan native-polyacrylamide agarose gel electrophoresis, masa molekul α-amilase dari bakteri TII-12 sekitar 192.932,8 Dalton. Aktivitas enzim ini dihambat oleh kelat kation divalen seperti EDTA dan CuSO4, tetapi meningkat aktivitasnya oleh ion kalsium. Produk hidrolisis enzim ini pada pati ubi kayu meliputi glukosa, dekstrin, maltosa, dan oligosakarida. Setelah 24 jam hidrolisis konsentrasi glukosa dan maltosa mencapai 51.970 dan 1...
