The heat‐resistant mold, Talaromyces flavus , was found to produce a thermophilic glucoamylase that exhibited the highest activity at 50°C and in the pH range of 4.0–4.8. The K m and V max values of the crude enzyme for amylopectin were 0.21% and 16.7 mg glucose 1 ‐1 , min ‐1 , respectively. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by the gel filtration method was 42 kDa.
