Abstract α-Amylases are the oldest and versatile starch hydrolysing enzymes which can
replace chemical hydrolysis of starch in industries. It cleaves the α-(1, 4)-D-glucosidic …

Extreme cold environments are potential reservoirs of microorganisms producing unique
and novel enzymes in response to environmental stress conditions. Such cold-adapted …

Degradation of starch granules by a psychrophilic α-amylase, AHA, from the Antarctic
bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAB23 was facilitated by C-terminal fusion to a …

Background Antarctica is one of the harshest environments in the world. Despite this fact, it
has been colonized by microorganisms, which had to develop different adaptations in order …

Microbial biotechnology uses microorganisms and their derivatives to generate industrial
and/or environmental products that impact daily life. Modern biotechnology uses proteomics …

This study reports on the purification and characterization of a digestive α-amylase from blue
crab (Portunus segnis) viscera designated Blue Crab Amylase (BCA). The enzyme was …

Microorganisms that inhabit the cold Antarctic environment can produce ligninolytic
enzymes potentially useful in bioremediation. Our study focused on characterizing Antarctic …

Despite being one of the most isolated regions in the world, Antarctica is at risk of increased
contamination with potentially toxic elements and other toxic chemicals through …

Abstract α-Amylase is the most significant glycoside hydrolase having applications in
various industries. It cleaves the α, 1–4 glucosidic linkages of polysaccharides like starch …

Industrial sectors are searching for new compounds to improve the preservation of food and
blood, human tissues, and fuels used at low temperatures. Antarctic microorganisms have …
