On the mechanism of sucrose utilisation by mycelial felts of Rhizoctonia solani

Summary The results of the present investigation proved that sucrose is utilised by mycelial mats of Rhizoctonia solani through a process of hydrolytic cleavage into glucose and fructose affected by an enzyme of the fructofuranosidase type attached to the cytoplasmic surfaces and not through the mediation of a specific sucrose phosphorylase enzyme.
