Expression of alpha-amylase in Bacillus licheniformis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1986 In Bacillus licheniformis, alpha-amylase production varied more than 100-fold depending on the presence or absence of a catabolite-repressing carbon source in the growth medium. alpha-Amylase was produced during the growth phase and not at the onset of the stationary phase.
