Abstract
The heat-resistant mold, Talaromyces flavus, was found to produce a th ermophilic glucoamylase that exhibited the highest activity at 50-degr ees-C and in the pH range of 4.0-4.8. The K(m) and V(max) values of th e crude enzyme for amylopectin were 0.21% and 16.7 mg glucose l-1 min- 1, respectively. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by th e gel filtration method was 42 kDa.
