Abstract

An endospore-forming thermophilic bacterium, which produced amylase and was identified as Bacillus stearothermophilus, was isolated from soil. The amylase had an optimum temperature of 70 degrees C and strongly degraded wheat starch granules (93%) and potato starch granules (80%) at 60 degrees C.
