The complete nucleotide sequence of the secretable α‐amylase gene ALP1 from the yeast Saccharomycopsis fibuligera has been determined. The ALP1 DNA hybridized to a polyadenylated RNA of 2.0 kilobases. A single open reading frame encodes a 494‐amino acid protein which is highly homologous with α‐amylase (Taka‐amylase) of a fungus Aspergillus oryzae .
