Chloride Activated Halophilic α-Amylase from Marinobacter sp. EMB8: Production Optimization and Nanoimmobilization for Efficient Starch Hydrolysis

Figure 7

Starch hydrolysis by free and immobilized α-amylase. Starch solution (2.0%, w/v) was hydrolyzed by free and immobilized α-amylase (2.0 IU/mL) in batch process at pH 7.0 and 45°C in presence of 1% (w/v) NaCl. Samples were withdrawn at different time intervals and reducing sugar was estimated.
