Among the various types of amylases produced,
commercially thermostable amylases are gaining
much more advantages in comparison to other types
Other microorganisms producing appreciable amount
of different amount of amylase enzyme are
Escherichia sp. Micrococcus sp. Pseudomonas spp.
Proteus sp., Serratia sp. Candida, Cephalosporium,
Mucor, Penicillium Neurospora e.t.c
In recent years the potential of using microorganisms
as biotechnological sources of industrially relevant
enzymes has stimulated interest in the exploration of
extracellular enzymatic activity in several
microorganisms
