Abstract: | Glucose oxidase (β-d-glucose: oxygen 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.4, GOD) was continuously released from Aspergillus sp. under mild ultrasound waves (20 kHz, 15 W). However, GOD was not released from the cells under normal conditions because of their thick wall. GOD production under ultrasound waves was optimum at pH 7.5 and 30°C and decreased with increasing ultrasonic frequency. Ultrasonic cavitation accelerated GOD release from the cells. Microscopic observation and determination of ATP and nucleic acids in the broth revealed that the mycelia were not broken during a 5 h reaction under ultrasound waves (15 W). About 10% of GOD produced in cells was released during the reaction. |
