Abstract
<p align="justify">A UV-induced mutant strain of Aspergillus
niger (CFTRI-1105-U9) overproduced a starch-hydrolysing enzyme with properties characteristically different
from the known amylases of the fungus. The purified
enzyme of 4.0 pI had an apparent molecular mass of
125 kDa and it dextrinised starch and then saccharified
the dextrins. Patterns of the enzyme activity on starch,
resulting in glucose at 60°C and glucose, maltose and
maltodextrins at 70°C as primary products, suggested
significant applications for the enzyme in starch-processing industries.</p>
