Comparing the denaturation rate of fungal and bacterial amylase. Plan Amylases are widespread enzymes which hydrolyse starch to maltose. They are often found in two forms, ? amylase which degrades starch molecules into fragments 10 glucose residues long and ? amylase which breaks down these into maltose made up of two glucose molecules. Both work by hydrolysis adding one molecule of water across the glycosidic link. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that bacterial amylase will work more efficiently at higher temperatures than fungal amylase. Both bacteria and fungi use amylases in their basic method of feeding. Bacteria are prokaryotes which means they are very small and have no true nucleus. They are unicellular but occur together in vast numbers as large groups or entirely separate cells. Being found almost everywhere in air, soil, water and in living things they are of great ecological and economic importance. Many bacteria cause decay and with fungi, facilitate the...
