Textile industry particularly the chemical processing sector has always been a major share in the global pollution. The advantage of this amylase is that they work well for desizing fabrics because they can remove the coating of starch without damaging the yarn. The aim of the study is to keep up with the increasing demands of amylase enzymes in the textile industry, improvements are being done to enhance the enzyme production by mutagenesis. It was observed that due to EMS-mutation there is an improvement in amylase production abilities of mutant strains, especially those who were originally poor in amylase activity. Genetic modification of the organism is a great method to improve the amylase enzyme activity of the wild type strain. Further specific study needs to be done in order to utilize these strains on a commercial scale.
