Surfactants as Stimulants of Enzyme Production by Microorganisms |
|
| Authors: | E. T. Reese and Anne Maguire |
| Abstract: | The addition of Tween 80 and sucrose monopalmitate, nonionic surfactants, to fungal cultures resulted in marked increases in yields of the enzymes cellulase, amylase, sucrase, beta-1 --> 3 glucanase, xylanase, purine nucleosidase, and benzoyl esterase. The action appears to be an effect of the surfactant on cell permeability. |
