The isolate showed the ability to produce amylase at all the temperatures used in the investigation (30ºC to 70ºC), though differences in enzyme yield were not significant. This could be attributed to the ability of the organism to survive a range of temperatures, a feature yet to be investigated since the effect of temperature on amylase production is related to the growth of the microorganism. Amylase production occurred at a temperature of 70ºC on all the substrates. Furthermore, the extracted enzyme showed maximum activity at a temperature of 50ºC. However, it has been reported that N. haematophilus and N. varians, to which the isolate share highest similarity, do not show growth at 45ºC
