title: Microbial amylases.
abstract: Amylases are of tremendous importance in the food industry. Different enzymes used separately or together convert starch into glucose, maltose, dextrins or cyclodextrins. Most enzymes of industrial importance are of microbial origin, and the list of amylases produced by molecular cloning is rapidly expanding.
