[Detection of extracellular protease in Mucor species].
The fungi are characterized by their abilities to produce and secrete enzymes to the external environment. The species of genus Mucor are a group of fungal microbes with important biotechnological potential, which are responsible for production of industrial enzymes. This work evaluated the ability of protease production in twelve species of genus Mucor. The strains were kept for 120 h under th...
متن کاملBile salt biotransformations by human intestinal bacteria.
Secondary bile acids, produced solely by intestinal bacteria, can accumulate to high levels in the enterohepatic circulation of some individuals and may contribute to the pathogenesis of colon cancer, gallstones, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Bile salt hydrolysis and hydroxy group dehydrogenation reactions are carried out by a broad spectrum of intestinal anaerobic bacteria, whereas...
متن کاملAlkylphenol biotransformations catalyzed by 4-ethylphenol methylenehydroxylase.
4-ethylphenol methylenehydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida JD1 acts by dehydrogenation of its substrate to give a quinone methide, which is then hydrated to an alcohol. It was shown to be active with a range of 4-alkylphenols as substrates. 4-n-propylphenol, 4-n-butylphenol, chavicol, and 4-hydroxydiphenylmethane were hydroxylated on the methylene group next to the benzene ring and produced the...
متن کاملTwo new species of Mucor from clinical samples.
Two new species in the order Mucorales, Mucor velutinosus and Mucor ellipsoideus, isolated from human clinical specimens in the USA, are described and illustrated. The former species is similar to Mucor ramosissimus, from which it can be differentiated by its ability to grow at 37°C and produce verrucose sporangiospores. Mucor ellipsoideus is also able to grow and sporulate at 37°C like M. indi...
متن کاملLight Requirement for the Carotenoids Production by Mucor hiemalis
Objective Fungi produce many different carotenoids and some are attractive in medical and industrial sources. In this work the ability of Mucor hiemalis (PTCC 5292) to produce carotenoids in media with different nitrogenous and carbon sources and incubation with white, yellow, blue and red lights (15W, 220V, E27) against dark-grown were studied. Materials and Method The microorganism cultiva...
