โœฆ Synopsis

A strain of Aspergillus niger adapted to grow on gluconate is cultivated on a medium containing gluconic acid lactone as the sole carbon source. Nutritional requirements of the adapted mold were studied. The organism shows optimum growth at 30 ~ C in a medium containing per litre 20 g of gluconic acid lactone, 800 mg of NH~NOs, 100 mg of MgSOa, 7H20 and 270 mg of I(H2PO ~ having pH 2.0. ~ycelial growth reaches its maximum on the third day. Comparative growth responses of the adapted and parent strains on glueonate, glucose and sucrose were studied.

Sorbitol dehydrogenase has been purified about 26 fold from a strain of Aspergillus niger, growing on sorbitol as the sole source of carbon. An absolute specificity of this enzyme for sorbitol, fructose, NAD and NADtt was observed. The Km for sorbitol and fructose were found to be 9.8 X 10 -5 M and

The most important means of elucidating the pathway(s) of metabolism is, probably, the actual identification of all the enzymes involved in the postulated pathway. As far as the authors are aware, there has been no systematic attempt to elucidate the metabolic pathways in spores of fungi, although c
