Abstract

Torulopsis ingeniosaDi Menna was found to possess an α-amylase strongly attached to the cell wall, its pH optimum being at 5.5, optimum temperature at 50 °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.
