Partial Characterization of Hydrolytic Enzymes Produced by Bacillus Strains Isolated from Balıklıgöl, Turkey

Abstract

In the present study, forty-five bacterial isolates were obtained from previously unstudied soil samples in Balıklıgöl, Şanlıurfa. Based on their enzim production capacities, six bacterial isolates designated as BGL-22, BGL-26, BGL-27, BGL-37, BGL-38 and BGL-39 were selected for further studies. Conventional and molecular identification results showed that the bacteria belonged to Bacillus genus. Among these strains, the highest activities for amylase (11.44 U mL-1), lipase (1.12 U mL-1) and protease (2.61 U mL-1) were determined for Bacillus sp. BGL-37. Enzymatic characterization studies demonstrated that the activities of acid-stable amylase and alkaline-stable lipase remained unchanged up to 50℃, while alkaline-protease was retained about 90% of its activity up to 40℃. The findings suggested that these enzymes providing environmentally compatible processes under relatively mild conditions have potential to be used in several fields such as food processing and detergent industry.
