Description

Total 399 marine strains were isolated from the sea water sample and screened for thermostable amylase production. Out of these 52 were to have amylogenic activity. Among them 2 isolates were able to grow and produce amylase at 55 degree C. Strain NH-25 tolerates 30% salt, a wide j-H range (4-8) and retained 64% activity at 50 degree C after 60 minutes.
