Considerando o interesse economico da cultura do milho, alvo de ataque de fungos micotoxigenicos, esta investigacao teve por objetivo a producao e caracterizacao bioquimica parcial de amilase das principais especies problematicas (Fusarium moniliforme e Aspergillus flavus). Empregandose cultivo em caldo de milho verde, adicionado de milho triturado, a maximizacao da producao de amilase de F. moniliforme e A. flavus ocorreu no 15o dia de fermentacao. Submetendose o sobrenadante de cultura a precipitacao fracionada com sulfato de amonio, entre 60 a 90% de saturacao, obtevese a amilase fungica, que foi caracterizada perante pH, temperatura e estabilidade termica por metodologia de superficie de resposta. Em ambos os grupos fungicos, a atividade enzimatica foi maximizada em temperatura proxima a 40 °C, com pH em torno de 6,7 para amilase de F. moniliforme e 5,5 para A. flavus. A maxima estabilidade termica da enzima de F. moniliforme ocorreu proximo a 21,0 °C. Abstract Regarding the economic relevance of corn culture and the fact that it can be a target to micotoxigenic fungi under improper storage conditions, this research aims the production of amylase and its partial biochemical characterization of the main problematic species Fusarium moniliforme and Aspergillus flavus. The fungi were cultivated in prepared medium containing both unripe and ground corn kernels. Maximum amylase production occurred on the 15th day of fermentation for both strains. The supernatant phase was fractionally precipitated with ammonium sulfate between 60 and 90% of saturation and the separated amylase had its parameters (pH, temperature and thermal stability) characterized by response surface methodology. Maximum activity was obtained at 40 °C and pH of 6.7 for the amylase of F. moniliforme and pH of 5.5 for the amylase of A. flavus. The optimal thermal stability for the enzyme of F. moniliforme occurred at 21 °C.
