Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus flavus FCBP-231, a filamentous fungus, was genetically modified for its ability to reveal extra cellular alpha-amylase activity. For strain improvement, the selected strains were subjected to UV irradiation (5-40 min exposure) and EMS treatment (50-300 microg mL(-1)) for hyper activity of an alpha-amylase enzyme. The mutants were quantitatively compared with the parental strain. UV and chemical...
