Table 3.
Effect of various detergents on the residual activity of the enriched α-amylase from A. penicillioides TISTR 3639.
| Additive | Residual activity (%) |
|---|---|
| Distilled water (control) | 100∗d |
| Detergent A | 81 ± 1.5a |
| Detergent B | 87 ± 0.1b |
| Detergent C | 94 ± 1.5c |
*One hundred percent activity corresponded to the activity of the amylase without any added detergent. Data are shown as the mean relative value ± 1SD, derived from three repeats. Means followed by a different lowercase superscript letter (a, b, c, and d) are significantly different (ANOVA and DMRT of the transformed data, P < 0.05).
