EFFECT OF FRUCTOSE ON EXTRACELLULAR PRODUCTION OF PROTEASES BY Altanaria alternata (FR.) Keissl

Mandakini Patil, N V Sastri

Abstract


Addition of fructose to the nutrient medium of Alternaria olternata (Fr.) Keissl has been found to give rise to higher protease production in' the medium. It was seen that fructose neither stimulatestis: enzyme activity nor affects the secretion of enzyme in the extracellular fluid. These results indicate that fructose enhances the production of these enzymes.

Keywords
