The kinetics of glucose oxidase (GOD) excretion by recombinant Aspergillus niger were investigated using enzymatic activity measurements as well as gel electrophoresis techniques. The majority of GOD was produced during rapid growth in the first phase of the cultivation. The high excretion rate duri

β¦ Synopsis
A mycelium of Aspergillus niger was cultured under various osmotic stresses. When fungus was cultured under osmotic stress, total catalase activity increased with increasing concentration of NaCl, up 0.4 M, but glucose oxidase under this condition significantly decreased. Mycelial growth was repressed with increased media osmolarity. To release periplasmic glucose oxidase 72-h old mycelium was suspended on a concentrated solution of NaCl (0.4 -2.8 M/l). The highest yield of GOD activity was obtained at a NaCl concentration of 1.2 M at pH 6.0, which improved the activity of this enzyme by about 2.1-fold in comparison with the control medium without this depressor.
