Abstract :
The amylase producer thermophilic Bacillus sp. K-12 was isolated from soil samples from Zeytinli hot spring inKahramanmaras. Enzyme synthesis occurred at 20-55 ¼C with an optimum of 42 ¼C. There was a slight variation in amylasesyn thesis within the pH range 4.5-10.5. Effects of various carbon sources and chemicals on a-amylase production were examinedand maximum a-amylase production was obtained in a medium containing 1% starch in 60 h. MnSO4, ZnSO4 and EDTA inhibiteda-amylase production of Bacillus sp. K-12.
