Abstract

AbstractTwenty mould strains belonging to 13 species were used to determine the effect of mixed cultures on the synthesis of amylases. In test‐tube microcultures on a rotary shaker 110 pairs of combinations of these strains were studied. In 73 cases they dominated in their amylolytic activity over the weaker strain components in the culture, and in 21 cases also over stronger amylolytic components. Among six strain pairs selected for a more accurate evaluation all showed a higher glucoamylase activity in mixed cultures in comparison with an amylolytically less active component of the culture, and in four cases also in relation to a more active component.
