Abstract

Amylase producing bacteria were isolated from soil of Almora district of Uttarakhand, India. Twenty bacterial isolates were checked for their amylolytic activity on starch agar medium, strain that showed utmost zone of clearance was identified biochemically. Genomic analysis confirmed the strain as Bacillus subtilis. It was submitted to gene bank with accession LC060260. Different culture parameters were optimized for maximum alpha amylase activity and enhanced alpha amylase production 121.22 U/ml/min was observed under incubation period of 72 hr at 400C and medium pH 7.0.
