title: Production of isoamylase by Pseudomonas amyloderamosa mutant strain JD210.
abstract: Nutritional requirements for the production of isoamylase by Pseudomonas amyloderamosa mutant strain JD210 were investigated. The optimal initial pH for enzyme production in shake-flask cultivation was 5.0. Maltose and soybean protein hydrolyzate were found to be the best carbon source and nitrogen source, respectively. The enzyme production was drastically inhibited by Zn+2 and Cu+2. Other metal ions phosphates and surfactants exhibited no significant inhibitory or accelerating effect on enzyme production. According to auxanography and single omission experiments, proline and isoleucine were required for growth. The supplement of 0.1% proline increased enzyme production by around 30% compared with no addition.
