Abstract


Fungal glucoamylases were among the first microbial enzymes shown to have a strong affinity for starch granules and to hydrolyse them effectively. While many microorganisms produce glucoamylase, the thermophilic ones are preferred for industrial fermentations, for, they have higher enzyme production potential and the contamination hazards can be avoided. A study was conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai during 1994 to produce glucoamylase from pearlmillet waste by a themophilic fungus, Aspergillus niger.
