Review of amylase production by microorganisms and their industrial application

The enzyme amylase is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of starch into sugars. There are three different kinds of amylase: gamma, beta, and alpha. It has been reported that microbes produce all the three types of amylase. Microbial amylases derived from fungi and bacteria are primarily employed in a variety of sectors and have enormous potential application in industries. This review documents the application of microbial amylase across different industries.
