Purification and Characterization of a Polyextremophilic α-Amylase from an Obligate Halophilic Aspergillus penicillioides Isolate and Its Potential for Souse with Detergents

Table 3

Effect of various detergents on the residual activity of the enriched -amylase from A. penicillioides TISTR 3639.

Additive	Residual activity (%)
Distilled water (control)	100^∗d
Detergent A	81 ± 1.5^a
Detergent B	87 ± 0.1^b
Detergent C	94 ± 1.5^c

One hundred percent activity corresponded to the activity of the amylase without any added detergent. Data are shown as the mean relative value ± 1SD, derived from three repeats. Means followed by a different lowercase superscript letter (a, b, c, and d) are significantly different (ANOVA and DMRT of the transformed data, ).
