Biominerlization and possible endosulfan degradation pathway adapted by Aspergillus niger.
Endosulfan is a chlorinated pesticide; its persistence in the environment and toxic effects on biota are demanding its removal. This study aims at improving the tolerance of the previously isolated fungus Aspergillus niger (A. niger) ARIFCC 1053 to endosulfan. Released chloride, dehalogenase activity, and released proteins were estimated along with analysis of endosulfan degradation and pathway...
متن کاملNew pathway for nonphosphorylated degradation of gluconate by Aspergillus niger.
A new nonphosphorylative pathway for gluconate degradation was found in extracts of a strain of Aspergillus niger. The findings indicate that gluconate is dehydrated into 2-keto-3-deoxy-gluconate (KDG), which then is cleaved into glyceraldehyde and pyruvate. 6-Phosphogluconate was not degraded under the same conditions. In addition, KDG was formed from glyceraldehyde and pyruvate. Very weak act...
متن کاملEffect of maltose on glucoamylase formation by Aspergillus niger.
Low levels of glucoamylase are produced when Aspergillus niger is grown on sorbitol, but substitution of the latter by glucose, maltose, or starch results in greater formation of glucoamylase as measured by enzymatic activity. Both glucoamylase I and glucoamylase II are formed in a yeast extract medium; however, glucoamylase I appears to be the only form produced when ammonium chloride is the n...
متن کاملEnhanced Solubilization of Iron and Calcium phosphates by Aspergillus niger by the Addition of Alcohols
The present study deals with the effect of increased concentrations of alcohols (methanol and ethanol) on the solubilization of FePO4 and CaHPO4 by Aspergillus niger. The efficiency of solubilization (ES) of inorganic phosphates, fungal growth, acid production and pH variation were determined. The concentrations of alcohols that most favored the solubilization of phosphates were 4% methanol and...
متن کاملOptimization of phosphate solubilization by Aspergillus niger using plackett-burman and response surface methodology
Phosphorus is one of the major components required for the metabolic activities and for the growth of any organism. Many soil organisms are known to solubilize inorganic phosphates. Aspergillus niger isolated from the soil showed extensive solubilization of Tri-calcium phosphate.It was observed that the solubilization was due to drop in pH.Acidification was due to production of organic acids by...
