ABSTRACT
Growth and enzymes production by Aspergillus flavipes FP-500 were evaluated on pectin, polygalacturonic acid, galacturonic acid, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, glycerol and glucose at different initial pH values. We found that the strain produced exopectinases, endopectinases and pectin lyases. Exopectinases and pectin lyase were found to be produced at basal levels as constitutive enzymes and their production was modulated by the available carbon source and pH of culture medium and stimulated by the presence of inducer in the culture medium. Endo-pectinase was basically inducible and was only produced when pectin was used as carbon source. Our results suggest that pectinases in A. flavipes FP-500 are produced in a concerted way. The first enzyme to be produced was exopectinase followed by Pectin Lyase and Endo-pectinase.
RESUMO
Avaliou-se o crescimento e a produção de enzimas por Aspergillus flavipes FP-500 em pectina, ácido poligalacturônico, ácido galacturônico, arabinose, ramnose, xilose, glicerol e glicose, em diferentes valores de pH inicial. Verificamos que a cepa produziu exopectinases, endopectinases e pectina liases. Exopectinases e pectina liases foram produzidas em níveis basais como enzimas constitutivas e sua produção foi modulada pela fonte de carbono disponível e pelo pH do meio de cultura e estimulada pela presença de indutores no meio de cultura. Endopectinase foi indutível e produzida somente quando pectina foi utilizada como fonte de carbono. Nossos resultados sugerem que as pectinases de A. flavipes FP-500 são produzidas de forma planejada. A primeira enzima a ser produzida foi expopectinase, seguida por pectina liase e endopectinase.
