The amyloglucosidase (AMG) present in ground malt is most probably of fungal origin, i.e. A. niger. The flour should
be extracted with 100 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.5 at 1 gram flour per 10
mL of buffer. You should note that the
PNP-beta-maltoside substrate is also susceptible to hydrolysis by
alpha-glucosidase, so it would be difficult to know which of these enzymes you
are measuring.
