Abstract
Mucor circinelloides LU M40 and Penicillium aurantiogriseum P 35, char acterized by extracellular beta-glucosidase activity on cyanogenic gly cosides, hydrolyse amygdalin by a two-step reaction mechanism being th e first step of hydrolysis, from amygdalin to prunasin, very rapid (15 min) and the second one, from prunasin to mandelonitrile, much slower (120 min).
