[Method] Based on the selection of an acid resistant α-amylase producing strain,the fermentation conditions including C,N contents and initial pH of culture medium,seed age,inoculum size,rotation speed of shake flask and fermentation temperature were optimized. [Result] The optimum fermentation conditions for acid resistant α-amylase producing strain were：seed age 14 h,inoculum size 8%,initial pH 5.5,fermentation temperature 35 ℃,rotation speed 150 r/min,the volume of inoculum broth 25 ml,C content 1.0% and N content 0.5%. [Conclusion] Under the optimum fermentation conditions,α-amylase activity reached 31.4 U/ml,which was 65.3 % higher than that before optimization.展开更多

Conventional antifouling coatings contain toxic biocides and heavy metals, which may induce unwanted adverse effects such as toxicity to non-target organisms, imposex in gastropods and increased multiresistance among bacteria. Therefore,enzyme-based coatings could be a new alternative solution. A H2O2-producing bienzyme system was developed in this study. H2O2 can be produced from starch by the cooperation of α-amylase and glucose oxidase, which promotes the hydrolysis of polymeric chain and oxidizes the glucose to produce H2O2, respectively. The encapsulated bienzyme(A-G@BS) exhibits enhanced stabilities of thermal, pH, recycling and tolerance of xylene. The A-G@BScontaining coating releases H2O2 at rates exceeding a target of 36 nmol·cm-2·d-1for 90 days in a laboratory assay. The results demonstrate that the method is a promising coating technology for entrapping active enzymes,presenting an interesting avenue for enzyme-based antifouling solutions.展开更多

Under the experimental conditions, a-amylase solution was treated by 0.15 T, 0.30 T and 0.45 T static magnetic fields for a known period of time, then the activity, kinetic parameters, and the secondary conformation were investigated. The results showed that there was a considerable effect of the magnetic exposure on the α-amylase. The activity was increased by 27%, 34.1%, 37.8% compared with the control. It was also found that both kinetic parameters Km and Vm could be decreased due to the increasing magnetic field, Km decreased from 2.20×10^2 to 0.87×10^2, whereas Vm decreased from 2.0×10^3 g/min to 1.1 ×10^3 g/min. At the same time, there were some irregular changes in a-amylase secondary conformation.展开更多

However, the mechanism remains unclear. Here we explored the mechanism underlying this phenomenon by using the pea （Pisum sativum L.） variety ＂longwan No. 1＂ The results showed that the endogenous indole-3-acetic acid （IAA） content decreased and gibberellin A3 （GA3） content increased in the curving primary pea root induced by H2O2. Meanwhile, both of the two hormones asymmetrically distributed in the inside and outside parts of the curving root. Also, the starch content decreased due to the increased a-amylase activity in this process. However, exogenous Ca2＋ can relieve the horizontal bending of pea root induced by H2O2 and altered the contents of endogenous IAA and GA3. A working model was proposed： Exogenous H2O2 causes the increase in GA3 content, and GA3 stimulates the activity of or-amylase, which leads to the hydrolysis of starch, and then the root lost the gravity perceiving. The asymmetric distribution of IAA and GA3 in two sides of curving root may cause the horizontal bending.Exogenous Ca^2＋ can relieve root bending through altering the endogenous IAA and GA3 contents.展开更多
