Shake culture studies for the production of amylases by Thermomyces lanuginosus.
The paper describes shake flask culture optimization studies for the production of amylases by Thermomyces lanuginosus. The culture was found to produce maximally alpha-amylase and glucoamylase (18.4 & 11.2 units/ml), respectively when the medium contained rice flour (2% w/v) as carbon and corn steep liquor as nitrogen source with medium pH adjusted to 5.5 and incubated for 72 h under shaking conditions (150 rpm) at 50 degrees C.
