Abstract
α-Amylase production was studied in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in aqueous two-phase systems composed of polyethyleneglycol (PEG)/dextran T500. Cells and enzyme were obtained in different phases when phase systems were applied to the growth media. Effects of different molecular weights and concentrations of polymers on differences of enzyme separation were established. The effect of PEG used in the system to the release of enzyme was investigated.
