Abstract excerpt
Thermomyces lanuginosus was subjected to three cycles of mutagenesis (UV/NTG) and a selection procedure to develop amylase-hyperproducing, catabolite-repression-resistant and partially constitutive strains. One of the selected derepressed mutant strain III(51), produced approximately 7- and 3-fold higher specific activity of alpha-amylase (190 U/mg protein) and glucoamylase (105 U/mg protein), respectively,...
