Abstract
Abstract Four isolates of Bacillus licheniformis producing thermo-stable amylase enzymes were previously isolated from different Sudanese soils and designated as B. licheniformis SUDK1 SUDK2 SUDK4 and SUDO. The enzyme was partially purified using DEAD Sephadex A 25 gel filtration and then were identified using thin layer chromatography. Optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were determined. The effect of thermal stability was detected at two storage temperatures -20Cand 4 C for 24 weeks. The results showed that the activity of the partially purified enzymes increased up to 16 -18 folds. The amylase enzymes were found to hydrolyze starch forming various maltooligosaccharides such as dextrins and maltose as major products so they were identified as 26945- amylases. Optimum temperatures for enzyme activity was obtained at 60 and 70 C. All enzymes were stable between pH 6.0-9.0 with optimum pH 7.0 . The enzymes were stable and retained nearly all of their initial activities at -20 C till the end of 24th week. At 4 C they lost less than 60 of their initial activities at the 8th week. The Km values were 1.25 2.0 mgml.
