A study of the amylolytic system of <i>Schwanniomyces castelii</i>

Abstract

Abstract The amylolytic system of Schwanniomyces castellii cultured on a yeast extract starch medium consists of 3 enzymes: an α‐amylase (molecular weight 40,000), glucoamylase I (molecular weight 90,000), and glucoamylase II (moelcular weight 45,000). The properties of the enzymes and the action of enzyme inhibitors were determined.
