A halopalkaliphilic marine Saccharopolyspora sp. stain A9 with an ability to produce surfactants, oxidant and detergent stable α-amylase was isolated from marine sediments collected from west coast of India. The α-amylase from strain A9 was purified to homogeneity with the aid of ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration chromatography by using Sephadex G-75, insoluble corn starch and sephacryl S-100 column, with a 39.01-fold increase in specific activity. SDS-PAGE and zymogram activity staining showed a single band equal to molecular mass of 66kDa. Enzyme was found to be stable in presence of wide range of NaCl concentration with maximum activity found at 11% (w/v) of NaCl. Enzyme showed remarkable stability towards laboratory surfactants, detergents and oxidants. Glucose, maltose and maltotriose were the main end product of starch hydrolysis, indicating it is α-amylase.
