CULTURAL CHARACTER AND EXOPROTEINASE ACTI VITY IN THE GENUS FLAMMULINA (BASIDIOMYCETES) .2. A SUBMERGED CULTIVATION

Fungi of the genus Flammulina are well known for the purposes of appli ed mycology. Submerged cultivation makes possible to use them for exam ple as a source of edible biomass and proteinases with fibrinand throm bolytic activity. Growth characters and fermentative activity of 3 Fla mmulina strains were being studied during submerged cultivation. Biosy nthesis of fibrinolytic exoproteinase as well as thrombolytic ones was typical for all studied strains, a maximum of the proteolytic activit y was observed at the same stage of growth as a maximum of accumulatio n of biomass. The use of organic nitrogen sources was preferable For c ultivation of F. velutipes strain, as compared with N-containing salt.
