Abstract
Glucoamylase, which is used for starch saccharification and considered
to be one of the most important industrial enzymes, can be produced b
y several strains of bacterial, fungi and yeast, notably by Aspergillu
s and Rhizopus. Improvements in operational controls and development o
f suitable bioreactors' have made scale-up of the enzyme production ea
sier in solid state fermentation (SSF).
