Extracellular amylase production of a thermotolerant Fusarium sp: isolated from Eastern Nigerian soil
In this work, an α- amylase producing Fusarium sp. was isolated from the soil at 50 0C. Growth and enzyme production occurred at 30, 45 and 55 ºC. Soybean meal at 1% concentration, supplemented with 0.2% NH4Cl and 2.5% corn starch elicited the highest amylase yield. Optimum pH for the enzym...
