The production of glucoamylase and α‐amylase by the yeast Lipomyces kononenkoae IGC 4052 at growth temperatures between 15 and 36°C has been studied. Glucoamylase production was found to be independent of growth temperature. α‐Amylase production had a temperature optimum in the range 25–28°C. The yield of growth on starch was not influenced by growth temperature.
