ABSTRACT
Constitutive amylase producing fungal isolates were screened from among those isolated from the damp wall. Two species of Aspergillus producing green (AG1) and yellow (AY1) conidia were found to produce amylase constitutively in potato dextrose broth. While AY1 showed increase in amylase activity only upto three days of growth, the increase in amylolytic activity was found till sixth day in case of AG1.
