Fabrication of Infectious Amylase Using Biotechnological Techniques

Abstract

Richard R. Kramer* and David Ron

Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simpler sugars. Biotechnological methods have been widely employed for the production of amylase due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this study, we explore the use of infectious techniques for the production of amylase. Specifically, we use genetic engineering to incorporate the amylase gene into a virus that can infect bacterial cells. The infected bacteria then produce large quantities of amylase, which can be harvested and purified for commercial applications. Our results demonstrate the feasibility and potential of this approach for the production of amylase using biotechnological methods. This research could pave the way for the development of new and innovative biotechnological strategies for enzyme production.
