Fungal Cellulases XII. Relation of the Amino Acid Analyses of the Mycelium of Stachybotrys Atra and of its ?-Glucosidase to the S-Aminoethyl-L-Cysteine Effect on Induction

Abstract

Amino acid analyses have been made of the mycelial protein of S. atra and of the portion of the cell contents soluble in boiling 75% ethanol. These analyses are presented for non-inducible mycelium and eor inducible mycelium before and after induction. A purified sample of S. atra j3-glucosidase has also been analysed. The bearing of these analyses on the inhibition of the induction of this enzyme by S-aminoethyl.L-cysteine is discussed.
