Ninety-seven strains were amylolytic and 11 were the good-producers as determined
on the basis of size of halo around the colonies in plates containing media supplemented
with 1% (w/v) starch, as sole carbon source. Many of the amylolytic strains belonged to
the genus Aspergillus, as they are dominant amylolytic genera in nature (Norouzian et al.,
2006; Sohail et al., 2005).
