Abstract Amylases are enzymes that hydrolyze starch, and are mostly produced from microbial sources. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of utilization of wheat milling by-products for the production of amylases by a macromycete strain, Coprinus comatus , recently discovered as a potential producer of amylases under submerged culture. The best results of enzymatic activity (6.07 U mL−1 for α-amylase and 0.64 U mL−1 for glucoamylases) were obtained in a medium containing 10 g L−1 of low-grade flour (LGF) as substrate. The composition of the culture medium was optimized by experimental designs. The enzymatic activities obtained in the optimized culture medium (105 g L−1 LGF, 3.76 g L−1 urea and 7.52 g L−1 K 2 HPO 4) were 59.40 ± 0.56 U mL−1 and 12.65 ± 0.09 U mL−1 for α-amylases and glucoamylases, respectively, representing an increase of 9.78 and 19.77 fold in the initial enzymatic production. High productivity (0.59 U mL−1 h−1 for α-amylase and 0.11 U mL−1 h−1 for glucoamylase) and product formation yield on substrate consumed (814.28 U gds−1 for α-amylase and 231.24 U gds−1 for glucoamylase) were obtained in the kinetic study. These results show that the use of LGF medium represents a low-cost alternative for the production of amylases by the species studied. The characterization of the partially purified enzymes showed optimal activity at temperature of 50 °C and pH 5.0, in addition to the independence of the calcium ion, a desirable characteristic for amylases produced for industrial application. Graphical abstract fx1 Highlights • Four by-products of wheat processing were tested for amylases production. • The utilization of Low-Grade Flour substrate for amylases production is reported for the first time. • Increase of 9.78 fold in α-amylase production and 19.77 fold in glucoamylase production with the optimization. • High productivity was obtained in the kinetic study of the optimized bioprocess. • The amylases from C. comatus showed biochemical characteristics desired for several industrial processes.
