A strain of black mold was isolated from a pith of sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) sampled at Papua New Guinea. The mold, which was identified as Chalara paradoxa, produced a strong amylase activity to hydrolyze starch granules. In this paper, the morphlogical description of the mold and the some characteristic properties of the crude enzyme was described.The enzyme had extremely high activity to hydrolyze starch granules compared with the ones of conventionally studied raw starch-digesting amylase.
