Fungal Cellulases IV. PRODUCTION AND PURIFICATION OF AN EXTRACELLULAR ,a-GLUCOSIDASE OF STACHYBOTRYS ATRA

Abstract

The accumulation of,B-glucosidase in shake cultures of Stachybotrys atra is dependent on a variety· of physiological conditions but there is no evidence that it is induced by the presence of ,B-glucosides in the medium. One strain of the. mould requires a factor present in yeast· extract for the production of the enzyme.
