Ga. Jimeneztobon et al., THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PELLET SIZE AND PRODUCTION OF MN(II) PEROXIDASE BY PHANEROCHAETE-CHRYSOSPORIUM IN SUBMERGED CULTURE, Enzyme and microbial technology, 21(7), 1997, pp. 537-542
The influence of cultivation conditions on the pellet size and mangane
se-dependent peroxidase production by Phanerochaete chrysosporium was
investigated. The influence of the agitation rate, inoculation level,
and medium composition was assessed systematically. The strong variati
on in enzyme production with the agitation rate and inoculation level
is caused by the pellet size differences. When the enzyme activity was
varied by changing the amount of carbon and nitrogen sources in the m
edium, no such correlation with the pellet size was observed. (C) 1997
