Research on Genotoxicity Evaluation of the Fungal Alpha-Amylase Enzyme on Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
BiologyAlpha-amylase is an extracellular enzyme abundantly produced from fungal sources. The catalytic activity of microbial enzymes is higher, more stable, and economical compared to plant and animal enzymes; they can be produced in large quantities in a short

Optimization of Alpha-Amylase Production Using Bacillus Subtilis PTCC 1720 under Solid-State Fermentation and Partial Purification of the Enzyme [PDF]
Biological Journal of Microorganism, 2021 Introduction: Alpha-amylase is one of the most widely-used amylase types in the industry. Bacterial amylase production is less expensive and easier. Also, solid-state fermentation is an efficient method for the production of industrial amylase due to its

Alpha-Amylase Activity in Blood Increases after Pharmacological, But Not Psychological, Activation of the Adrenergic System. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Alpha-amylase in both blood and saliva has been used as a diagnostic parameter. While studies examining alpha-amylase activity in saliva have shown that it is sensitive to physiological and psychological challenge of the adrenergic system, no challenge ...
