3. Liquozyme
A new cost-effective alpha-amylase
from Novozymes is designed for
ethanol plants. Blend of 6 different
alpha-amylases
provided up to a 40% improvement in
viscosity in slurry, and up to 17%
improvement in liquefaction
Robust, trusted performance at low pH
conditions.
Liquozyme® LpH delivers equal or higher
DE (dextrin equivalence)
Termamyl
• Termamyl® is a liquid enzyme preparation
containing an outstandingly heat-stable α-
amylase.
• used for the continuous liquefaction of starch
at temperatures of up to 105–110 °C, taking
advantage of the extreme heat stability of this
enzyme
• produced by a genetically-modified strain of
Bacillus licheniformis.
5. • Generally GMOs(Bacteria) are used to produce the products.
• Metabolic and Genetic Engineering-Dr.Nasir (2019) has cloned the gene of Amylase production into pFLDα
expression vector under the control of formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FLD1) promoter before transforming
into a new yeast expression system, i.e., Meyerozyma guilliermondii strain SO.
• Chemical agents like Nitrous acids, Ethyle methane Sulphonate(EMS)
• Radiation
• Bacterial Sources- For the Production of Thermostable Enzyme
• Bacillus amyloliquefaciens UNG-16 ( Radiation Method and EMS is employed for Mutation)
• B. subtilis (YN9- 3 fold increase) (mutated by- N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine)
• B.licheniformis
• B.stearothermophylus
• (Inoculum Prep. Parameter- Temp- 45°C-55°C; pH- 6.0-7.0; Incubation period- 48-72 hours)
• Fungal source can be also considered for the production.
• Aspergillus sp- A.oryzae, A.niger, A.kawachii (Temp.- 30°C-90°C, pH-5.0-6.0, Incubation Period- 96hrs)
• Penicillium sp- P.fellutanum, P.roquefortii, P.chrysogenum (Temp- 30°C-50°C, pH-6.0-7.0, Incubation Period-
72hrs)
6. Carbon Source
• Maltose, Sucrose, Glucose
• Organism Specific Substrate like-->
• A.tamarii-Maltose+Starch+Glycogen(Gives 4 folds of yield
than normal)
• B.subtilis- Banana Waste and Glucose is essential
• A.niger and B.licheniformis-Wheat Bran
Nitrogen Source
• Inorganic Sources- Ammonium sulphate, Ammonium
Chloride, Ammonium Hydrogen Phosphate.
• Organic Sources- Peptone, Yeast Extract, Soyabean Meal,
Tryptone, Meat Extract
• Organism Specific Substrates-->
• A.oryzae- Sodium Nitrate(0.9%)+Malt(1%)
• A.fumigatus+A.niger- Peptone+Sodium nitrate+Casein
hydrolysate
• Thermomyces lanuginosus- Peptone
Metal Mix and Buffer
• Metal Mix (Ca-chloride; Mn chloride;Mg chloride;water),
sterile-filtered or made from pre-sterilized stock
solutions
• Fe-solution-Fe(III)-chloride+HCl+Water
• Phosphate Buffer-KH2PO4,K2HPO4 and Water
Sterilization

7. Specific Organisms- B.licheniformis GCB-U8, P.fellutum, Halobacillus MA-2
Most Conventional Way of Amylase Production.
Fermentation Yielded Amylase are secreted into Fermentation Broth
Substrated utilization is Rapid
Suitable procedure for the microorganisms that require high moisture content
Utilization of GMO is much more suitable in this process (than SSF)
unwanted metabolites are not produced and purification of enzymes takes place
in an easy way.
Control of the process parameters like- Temperature, pH, Aeration, Oxygen
Transfer and Moisture are very convenient.
Submerged fermentation is a method of
manufacturing biomolecules in which
enzymes and other reactive compounds
are submerged in a liquid
8. Much More recent Process and an alternative to SmF.
Specific Microorganisms- B.licheniformis, B.vulgaris, B.megaterium,
B.subtilis - These microbes require less amount of moisture content
for growth.
Substrates used- Bran, Bagasse, Paper pulp,de-oiled oil seed cakes
etc.
Substrate Utilization- Very Slow and Steady process
Bioreactor- GROWTEK Bioreactor (to circumvent many problems
associated with Conventional Tray Reactor)-a side tube with silicon
membrane that permits replenishment of nutrient medium without
disturbing much the fermenting organism.
Advantages- 1. Nutrient Rich waste materials(Oil Cakes) can be easily
recycles. 2. SImpler Equipments 3. High Volumetric Productivity 4.
Higher Concentrated Products 5. Lesser Effluent Generations
Solid State Fermentation (SSF) is a
fermentation methods to produce
metabolites of microorganisms using
solid support in place of the liquid
medium.
9. • Ultrafiltration- Widely used
technique in concentrating
and purifying proteins by
their molecular weight.
• SDS-PAGE - 55.4 kDa
• The crude alpha amylase
present in the fermentation
broth is ultrafiltrated twice
against 100kDa and 30kDa
Molecular Weight Cut-off
(MWCO)- ultrafiltration
membrane.
• Fold Purification- 3.4
• Yield Recovery- 20.61
• De-Salting Method: After
applying the salting
method when the proteins
are precipited de-salting
method is applied.
• In the presence of 100mM
Phosphate Buffer (pH-6.0)
dialysis is done which
leads to-
• 4.75 fold purification
• 16.66% Yield
• Salt Precipitation- To purify proteins from
the crude enzymes by increasing the salt
concentration gradually and at 60% level
mainly all types of proteins gets precipited.
• Most common salt used- Ammonium
Sulphate(80%)
10. • Based on the Ionic bonds between Cation and
Anion.
• Mobile Phase- Crude Enzyme
• Stationary Phase- Inert Organic Matrix
• Separates Molecules by Their Surface
Charges
• Competitive Ion Binding and Ion Exclusion due
to Similar Charged Ions
• Ions are fixed in a column.
• To provide charge in the proteins- Dissolve
into the buffer with pH lower and higher than
Isoelectric point (the pH at which a molecule
carries no net electrical charge or is
electrically neutral) isoelectric point-9.05
• Desorption or Elution of Enzymes.
• Column- DEAE-Sephadex-A50 and Q-
Sepharose(HiTRAP) (Developed by Cytiva)
• Binding Buffer- Tris-HCl Buffer (pH 8.0)
• Elution Buffer- Tris-HCl Buffer (pH 8.0)
• Result- 9.31 fold Purification and 12.61% yield
`
• Proteins of varying sizes are separated by
Columns consisting of a matrix of beads-
which contains Sieves of Particular sizes.
• SEC-separates molecules according to their
size in solution
• Larger molecules are eluted earlier than
smaller molecules.
• Beads are crosslinked with various
chemicals.
• Most Frequently equipped SEC matrix-
Sephadex G-100
• But for Bacillus sp. special arrangement
required
• Column- Toyopearl Chromatography Resins
by Tosoh Corporation
• Running Buffer- Tris-HCl Buffer (pH 8.0)
• Elution Buffer- Tris-HCl Buffer (pH 8.0
Dextrose equivalent (DE) is a measure of the amount of reducing sugars present in a sugar product, expressed as a percentage on a dry basis relative to dextrose.
SDS-Page-> SDS is a detergent, an anionic (negatively charged) surfactant (compound that lowers surface tension). SDS disrupts the non-covalent bonds in protein molecules.
