Production of alpha-amylase by microscopic fungi. 1981

J Augustín, and J Zemek, and O Fassatiová, and L Kuniak

The amylolytic activity and especially the production of alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) and alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) was screened in imperfect fungi, mucoral fungi and some ascomycetes. The character of the polysaccharide system, which is responsible for the utilization of alpha (1 to 4) glucan, was specified with a concomitant screening of growth on soluble starch. The amylolytic activity was found in 29 strains out of the 49 tested.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008320 Maltose A dextrodisaccharide from malt and starch. It is used as a sweetening agent and fermentable intermediate in brewing. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D005658 Fungi A kingdom of eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that live parasitically as saprobes, including MUSHROOMS; YEASTS; smuts, molds, etc. They reproduce either sexually or asexually, and have life cycles that range from simple to complex. Filamentous fungi, commonly known as molds, refer to those that grow as multicellular colonies. Fungi, Filamentous,Molds,Filamentous Fungi,Filamentous Fungus,Fungus,Fungus, Filamentous,Mold

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.

D013213 Starch Any of a group of polysaccharides of the general formula (C6-H10-O5)n, composed of a long-chain polymer of glucose in the form of amylose and amylopectin. It is the chief storage form of energy reserve (carbohydrates) in plants. Amylomaize Starch,Amylum,Cornstarch,Keoflo,Starch, Amylomaize
