ABSTRACT
Alpha amylase enzyme (EC 3.2..1. 1) (a-1, 4 glucan-glucanohydrolase) is widely distributed in
nature such as plants, animals and microorganisms. Production of extracellu Jar alpha-amylase from
fungi was isolated from rhizosphere of Moringa oleifera. Three (3) fungi isolates were selected after
serial dilution of the soil samples, four optimization parameters was employed to determine the enzyme
activity and they include effect of inoculum size, pH, nitrogen source and surfactant·on the enzyme
production. Aspergillius has the maximum enzyme production at 0.697 U/ml in the presence of 1 ml
inoculum size, the minimum enzyme production for Trichoderma was at 0.045U/ml in the presence of
Groundnut cake whereas the stimulatory ability of pH at 7.0 was for Penicillum. This study reveals that
Fungi is also a best source for the production of alpha amylase especially Aspergillus and Penicilliwn
specie because of their higer yield of enzyme activity.
