title: Amylase activity of Torulopsis ingeniosa Di Menna.
abstract: Torulopsis ingeniosa DI MENNA was found to possess an alpha-amylase strongly attached to the cell wall, its pH optimum being at 5.5, optimum temperature at 50 degrees C, highly sensitive to thermal inactivation. The enzyme was found to be induced by starch but the synthesis is not subject to a glucose effect.
