title: An extracellular phosphatase from Aspergillus fumigatus.
abstract: A potential producer of extracellular phosphatase has been isolated and identified as A. fumigatus. The fungal phosphatase is active in pH range 5 to 8 and its temperature optimum is 65 degrees C. The mineralisation of organic phosphates present in Neem cake and press mud by this enzyme has been demonstrated.
