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

Figure 5

Effect of varying anions on Marinobacter sp. α-amylase activity: chloride ion activation. Appropriate dilution of α-amylase was assayed as per standard procedure. NaCl (1%, w/v) was replaced with different salts in assay mixture. Control sample had no salt in assay mixture. α-Amylase activity in presence of NaCl was taken as 100%.
