Increased production of alpha-amylase by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in the presence of glycine

Q Zhang et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1983 Jul.

Abstract

The production of alpha-amylase by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens increased by a factor of 300 when glycine was added to a chemically defined simple medium at the early-logarithmic phase of growth. Glycine was not metabolized to a significant extent under the conditions used, but it considerably prevented the lowering of the pH of the culture.
