Abstract
Byssochlamys fulva was found to produce a glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) th at exhibited its maximal activity at 50 degrees C and had a broad opti mum pH range of 4.0-5.2. The K-m and V-max values of the crude enzyme for amylopectin were 0.15% and 17.9 mg glucose l(-1) min(-1), respecti vely. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by the gel-filtr ation method was 34 kDa.
