Abstract
Certain factors affecting the production of cell-associated alpha-gala ctosidase by Bacillus sp. JF(2) were investigated. The intention was t o maximize alpha-galactosidase activity of potential commercial applic ation, by consecutive optimization of growth media and conditions. The highest alpha-galactosidase activity was obtained when grown on melib iose, whereas sucrose inhibited the production of alpha-galactosidase. alpha-Galactosidase production was optimally active at pH 7.5 and 55 degrees C. It was identified that a soy effluent stream could be used as the best carbon source for alpha-galactosidase by Bacillus sp. JF(2 ).
