Industrial demands for enzymes that are stable in a broad range of conditions are increasing. Such enzymes, one of which is α-amylase, could be produced by extremophiles. This study reports a thermostable α-amylase produced by a newly isolated <i>Geobacillus</i> sp. nov. from a geothermal area. The phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that the isolate formed a separate branch with 95% homology to <i>Geobacillus</i> sp. After precipitation using ammonium sulphate followed by ion-exch ...[more]
