Title: Synthetic Production of Amylase from Aspergillus niger Isolated from Citrus Fruit
Abstract: During the growth of a citrus fruit isolate, Aspergillus niger, in a synthetic medium containing starch as sole carbon source, proteins which exhibited amylase activity were produced. Production of enzyme increased with increase in days of incubation, with optimum occurring on the tenth day. After partial purification by ammonium sulphate precipitation and dialysis, activity of amylase increased with increase in concentration of starch, optimum at 35°C and pH 6.5. Activity was stimulated by Na , K , Mg and Ca , + + 2+ 2+
