Amylases represent a versatile group of catalysts that are used for the saccharification of starch because they can hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds of starch molecules to release glucose, maltose, and short-chain oligosaccharides. The amylolytic complex of the thermophilic filamentous fungus var (AmyHb) was produced, biochemically characterized, and compared with the commercial amylase Termamyl. In addition, the biotechnological application of AmyHb in starch saccharification was investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Xylanases from thermophilic fungi like XylRc can be produced using waste materials such as wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse, demonstrating potential for bioconversion and biobleaching in various industries.
- The enzyme was successfully purified and characterized, showing optimal activity at high temperatures (80°C) and a specific pH (5.5), with a molecular weight of 53 kDa and being part of the glycoside hydrolase 10 family.
- When combined with a commercial enzyme mix, XylRc enhanced the efficiency of sugar release from biomass, indicating its promise for converting lignocellulosic materials into valuable sugar precursors for biofuels.
