Methods of isolation and purification of enzymes with α-amylase activity of the two producers — Aspergillus flavus var. oryzae 80428 and Bacillus subtilis 147 were selected which included: ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on TSK-gel Toyopearl HW-50 and ionexchange chromatography on TSK-gel DEAEToyopearl 650 M (for α-amylase, A. flavus var. oryzae); fractionation by ammonium sulfate and affinity sorption on starch (for α-amylase, B. subtilis 147). α-Amylase of A. flavus var. оryzae was purified in 37 times and α-amylase B. subtilis 147 — in 20 times in comparison with enzyme activity in supernatant of cultural medium. α-Amylase of A. flavus var. oryzae showed maximum activity at 60 °С and pH 6,0 and retained 100% activity after 24 h at pH 5,0–7,0 and after 3 h at 37 °С. The pH and temperature for optimum activity of the enzyme were 90 °С and 8,0. It was stable at рН 7,0–9,0 after 24 h and at 37 °С, 60 °С, 70 °С after 3 h and retained 80% of the initial activity after 3 h at 80 °С, respectively.
Key words: ?-amylase, gel-filtration, іоnexchange chromatography, Aspergillus flavus var. oryzae, Bacillus subtilis, purification.
