Genomic and enzymatic insights into α-amylase-producing Bacillus spizizenii strains isolated from Isfahan province, Iran.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

α-Amylases represent a class of industrially critical enzymes widely employed in food processing, animal feed, and biotechnology sectors. While microbial sources, particularly Bacillus species, serve as preferred production platforms due to their efficiency and scalability, there remains a pressing need to discover novel strains with enhanced enzymatic properties from underexplored environments. This study investigated the isolation and characterization of high-performance α-amylase-producing bacteria from diverse ecological niches across Iran, including Golestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, Kurdistan, and Isfahan, with particular emphasis on their potential application in animal feed industries.

Methods

Strains capable of producing amylase were extracted from environmental
