Abstract: Several experiments were conducted on bacterial and fungal amylase, examining the rate at which both break down starch at various temperatures. Enzymes act as catalysts to accelerate reactions. Amylase is a type of enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. In order to record the rate at which starch was broken down at different temperatures, bacterial amylase was placed in water baths of 0°C, 25°C, 55°C, and 85° for five minutes. Once the amylase was in the water bath for a reasonable amount of time,
