The amylolytic activity and especially the production of alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) and alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) was screened in imperfect fungi, mucoral fungi and some ascomycetes. The character of the polysaccharide system, which is responsible for the utilization of alpha (1 to 4) glucan, was specified with a concomitant screening of growth on soluble starch. The amylolytic activity was found in 29 strains out of the 49 tested.
