Abstract
The production of α-amylase, glucoamylase, Cx- and C1-cellulase, lichenase, xylanase and mannanase was followed in 118 strains of 25 species of the genusBacillus using specific substrates obtained by crosslinking of polysaccharides with 2-chloromethyloxiran. The α-amylase production was also followed using a chromolytic substrate.
