Localization of Glucose Oxidase and Catalase Activities in Aspergillus niger.

University of Groningen Cytochemical Localization of Glucose Oxidase in Peroxisomes of Aspergillus niger

A discussion of anti-Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase monoclonal antibody reactivity to red blood cells of several species.

We observed that mouse spleen cells from rosettes with autologous red blood cells (RBCs) and that rosette-formation was suppressed by anti-Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase monoclonal antibody (mAb). In the present study, we investigated whether RBCs of species besides mice have the structure recognized by anti-A. niger glucose oxidase mAb by using rosette-formation and complement-mediated hemo...

THE EFFECT OF IONIC STRENGTH ON THE BINDING OF SODIUM N-DODECYL SULPHATE TO ASPERGILLUS NIGER CATALASE

The binding of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to Aspergillus niger catalase in various ionic strengths at pH 6.4 and a temperature of 27? and 37?C has been studied over a range of SDS concentrations using equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The binding data were used and interpreted in terms of theoretical models (Scatchard Equation and Wyman Binding Potential). ...

Purification and Properties of the Glucose Oxidase from Aspergillus Niger.

Glucose oxidase (/3-n-glucose : 02 oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.4) has been highly purified from the extracts of three fungi, Penicillium not&urn (1, 2), Penicillium amagasakiense (3, 4), and Aspergillus niger (5, 6). It has also been identified and sometimes partially purified from a number of other sources. Some of these sources are reviewed by Schepartz and Subers (7). Recently Pazur and Kleppe ...

Effect of Gamma Irradiation on Aspergillus Niger for Enhanced Production of Glucose Oxidase

Developing countries have a high prevalence of diabetes and their populations are suffering from associated adverse factors. Such a frequency requires more effective diagnosis, mostly achieved by glucose diagnostic kits. Although high priced kits are available in market but local production of such kits can be highly cost effective and may confer the decline in incidence of the disease. Glucose...
