Abstract:
The assessment of the thermal adaptation characteristics of a probiotic organism is crucial since the probiotic bacteria are sensitive to thermal stress created by the gut environment. Probiotic Bacillus subtilis SK09 was subjected to varying temperatures growth conditions and checked for its thermal adaptation. Experiments were carried out with cultures grown in Nutrient broth at three different temperatures namely 25, 35 and 40ºC. After 24 h the extracellular secretions present in the cell free supernatant were analyzed for amylase and $-galactosidase activity as well the net protein content. Bacillus subtilis SK09 showed a prominent growth and protein profile in 35ºC with maximum enzyme activity and total protein production compared to other two conditions. At 40°C the strain exhibited a 30 kDa protein which might have been induced due to thermal stress.

Key words:  Amylase, β - galactosidase, thermal adaptation, thermal stress, probiotic, ,
