Amylase production by A.niger strain UO-1 was followed
in media prepared with brewery and meat processing
wastewaters supplemented with starch. The
time course of growth, pH, total sugars and enzymes
(amylases and proteases) production is shown in Fig. 1.
The levels of amylase and protease enzymes obtained
were markedly dependent on the concentration of initial
starch concentration in the culture media (Fig. 1).
Increased amylase and protease levels were obtained in
the media supplemented with starch when compared
to the control cultures (BW and MPW media without
starch).
