Title Enzyme Activity by Some Streptomyces Species with Different Carbon Sources
Source Journal of King Saud University. Science. Volume 15, No 2. (2003/1423)
Abstract Abstract. Three Streptomyces species were used in the experiment: Streptomyces fradiae, S. griseus, and S. scabies. They have the ability to produce amylase, protease and lipase enzymes at different carbon sources. The carbon sources, which were used (1%) sucrose, glucose and starch. These sources were added separately to the media. Amylase, protease and lipase were produced highly when sucrose was used as carbon source but not glucose and starch. Also, the biomasses of three species were high at sucrose.
