Abstract
Two glucoamylases (I and II) were produced during solid-state culture of Aspergillus hennebergi ( A. niger group) on cassava meal, whereas one glucoamylase and one alpha-amylase were synthesized by the mould in liquid culture. These glucoamylases were acidic proteins with thermotolerant activities. Glucoamylase I was not a glycoprotein, but glucoamylase II and the glucoamylase from liquid cultures contained 15% of sugars. The alpha-amylase was significantly less thermotolerant and of smaller molecular weight. The influence of culture conditions on the production of different amylases by the same Aspergillus strain on the same substrate is discussed.
