Byssochlamyopeptidase A, a Rennin-like Enzyme Produced by Byssochlamys fulva

Byssotoxin A, a secondary metabolite of Byssochlamys fulva.

Byssochlamys fulva, isolated from corn, was grown on nutrient-amended shredded wheat medium for 14 days at 25 C. Crude solvent extract from these cultures was toxic to brine shrimp, chicken embryos, and rats. The extract was slightly inhibitory to the germination of of pea seeds, but was nontoxic to ten species of bacteria and one of yeast. One metabolite was isolated, given the trivial name by...

The pectic enzymes of the fungus Byssochlamys fulva.

It was reported by Beavan & Brown (1949) that cultures of By8aochlamy8 fulva Olliver & Smith produced protopectinase, but neither polygalacturonase nor pectin esterase; they concluded that B. fulva produced a disaggregating enzyme, which lowered the viscosity ofpectin solutions, without the formation of free reducing groups. A re-investigation of the problem has been made, and in a preliminary ...

The Deflocculating Enzyme Produced by a Floc-forming Bacterium

The bacterium strain No. 12 isolated from a phenol-adapted activated sludge as a floc-forming bacterium was found to produce an exoenzyme which could deflocculate its own floc. As the floc of this bacterium was not deflocculated with EDTA and various enzymes such as cellulase, protease, and lysozyme, this exoenzyme was isolated and purified. The optimal pH of the enzyme for deflocculation was 3...
