The stimulatory effect of TiO2 nanoparticles and of the coordination compound of Sr(II) with a polydentate ligand on the amylase activity was established under submerged cultivation of the micromycete strain Aspergillus niger CNMN FD 06. After purification by gel-filtration on the column of PAD-10 and the ion exchange chromatography on the Hi-TrapTMQ column, an increase in the specific activity of α-amylase in the case of the variants with the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles and coordination compound of Sr(II) up to 15523 and 14656 U/mg, respectively, compared to the control version 12037 U/mg. The yield of α-amylases after purification was also higher, with an increase of 31 and 20%, respectively, compared to that of the control variant. The SDS-PAGE analysis of the isolated proteins revealed the presence of two bands in the active fractions with an apparent molecular mass equal to 65 and 40 kDa, with a more abundant band with a molecular mass of 65 kDa in the case of the preparation obtained with the addition of the Sr(II) coordination compound.
