Data on regular position of glucoamylase in modern classification are given in the review. Current views on regulation of microbial glucoamylases biosynthesis are stated, the issues concerning structure and functions of individual domains of enzyme molecule, their interrelation and role in catalysis are discussed.

Physical and chemical properties of fungal glucoamylases are detailed.Possibility of effective immobilization of enzymes on various carriers with the purpose of their using in various technological processes was shown.
 

Key words: glucoamylase, biosynthesis, active centre structure, mechanism of action, enzyme properties, glucoamylase immobilization, practical use.
