Article Description

A new thermophilic Streptomyces sp. TO1, isolated from Tunisian soil, produced a thermostable alpha-amylase and pullulanase. The gene encoding for the alpha-amylase activity was cloned into the multicopy cloning plasmid pLM1 using S. lividans ZX1 as host strain. The ZX1/pLM1 strain has the same activity than the initial TO1 strain and about 25 fold higher activity than the ZX1 strain. This alpha-amylase has an optimum of pH and temperature at 6 and 70°C respectively.
