ABSTRACT
Fungi are well known by their ability to excrete enzymes into the environment. Among them, representatives of Mucor Fresen. Have important biotechonological potential and some of them produce industrial enzymes. This work studied amylase, lipase, polygalacturonase and protease production by fifty-six isolates of Mucor belonging to 11 different taxa, selected from herbivores dung using solid media. The results showed that the majority of the isolates presented several enzymatic activities with predominance of polygalacturonase (96 percent), followed by amylase (84 percent), protease (82 percent) and lipase (66 percent).
