Two strains (15.1 and 15.8) of the thermophilic fungus Scytalidium thermophilum produced high levels of intracellular glucoamylases, with potential for industrial applications. The isoform I of the glucoamylase produced by 15.1 strain was sequentially submitted to DEAE-Cellulose and CM-Cellulose chromatography, and purified 141-fold, with 5.45% recovery. The glucoamylase of strain 15.8 was purified 71-fold by CM-Cellulose and Concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography, with 7.38% recovery. Temperature and pH optima were in the range of 50-60ºC and 5.0-6.0, respectively, using starch and maltose as substrates. The glucoamylase of S. thermophilum 15.8 was more stable (t50 > 60 min) than that of S. thermophilum 15.1 (t50= 11-15 min), at 60ºC. The glucoamylase activities were enhanced by several ions (e.g. Mn2+ and Ca2+) and inhibited by &#946;-mercaptoethanol. The glucoamylase from 15.1 strain showed a Km of 0.094 mg/ml and 0.029 mg/ml and Vmax of 202 U/mg prot and 109 U/mg prot, for starch and maltose, respectively. The hydrolysis products of starch and maltose, analyzed by TLC, demonstrated glucose as end product and confirming the character of the enzyme as glucoamylase. Differences were observed in relation to the products formed with maltose as substrate between the two strains studied. S. thermophilum 15.8 formed maltotriose in contrast with S. thermophilum 15.1.Duas linhagens (15.1 e 15.8) do fungo termofílico Scytalidium thermophilum se mostraram produtoras de grandes quantidades de glucoamilases, com potencial aplicação industrial. A isoforma I de glucoamilase produzida pela linhagem 15.1 foi submetida seqüencialmente a cromatografia em colunas de DEAE-celulose e CM-celulose, sendo purificada 141 vezes com porcentagem de recuperação de 5,45%. A glucoamilase da linhagem 15.8 foi purificada 71 vezes através do uso de colunas de cromatografia de CM-celulose e Concanavalina A-sepharose com porcentagem de recuperação de 7,38%. Temperatura e pH ótimo foram de 50-60ºC e 5,0-6,0 respectivamente, utilizando-se amido e maltose como substratos. A glucoamilase de S. thermophilum 15.8 se mostrou mais estável (t50 > 60 min) que a de S. thermophilum 15.1 (t50 =11-15min) a 60ºC. As glucoamilases tiveram suas atividades enzimáticas aumentadas na presença de vários íons (ex: Mn2+, e Ca2+) e inibidas por &#946;-mercaptoetanol. A glucoamilase da linhagem 15.1 apresentou um Km de 0,094 mg/ml e 0,029 mg/ml and Vmax de 202U/mg prot e 109U/mg prot, para amido e maltose respectivamente. A análise do produto da hidrólise de amido e maltose por TLC, demonstrou que o produto final era glucose, confirmando as características da enzima como glucoamilase. Diferenças entre as duas linhagens foram observadas com relação aos produtos formados tendo maltose como susbstrato, a linhagem 15.8 de S. thermophilum produziu maltotriose como produto final em contrate com a linhagem 15.1
