abstract：:Higher thermostability or acid resistance for fungal α-amylase will help to improve the sugar-making process and cut down the production costs. Here, the thermostability or acid resistance of Rhizopus oryzae α-amylase (ROAmy) was significantly enhanced by site-directed evolution based on multiple sequence alignment (M...
