| Abstract: | The dynamics of the consumption of major carbon and nitrogen sources and the biosynthesis of hydrolytic enzymes were studied in Bacillus mesentericus grown on semisynthetic media. Conditions were chosen that provide the obtaining of the culture liquid with predominantly proteolytic or amylolytic activity. The replacement of maltose with native starch resulted in more intensive accumulation of the biomass and hydrolytic enzymes, and in more rapid (by 3-5 hr) transformation from the logarithmic to the stationary growth phase. |
