title: Shake culture studies for the production of amylases by Thermomyces lanuginosus.
abstract: 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.
