Application of heterokaryons of Aspergillus to commercial-type fermentations.

چکیده
Methods employed in the study of the fluorescent culture filtrates of Azotobacter are described. The use of a fluorescence meter in the characterization of the fluorescent substances elaborated by Azotobacter agile, Azotobacter vinelandii, and Azotobacter macrocytogenes n. sp. is discussed. A. macrocytogenes, a fluorescent species, is included with the two previously reported fluorescent Azotobacter. Fluorometric analysis is useful in characterizing the fluorescent substances of Azotobacter and may be helpful in the separation and classification of the fluorescent strains. REFERENCES

THE PRODUCTION OF GLUCOAMYLASE BY ASPERGILLUS NIGER UNDER SOLID STATE CONDITIONS (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this study, Glucoamylase production by Aspergillus Niger was investigated under solid state conditions with low cost by-products of agricultural processes as substrate. Highest enzyme production was observed when a combination of wheat bran (WB) and corn flour (CF) was used as compared to WB+ rice bran, WB+ rice flour and WB alone. Different additions of (CF) were tested and WB+ 10% CF showe...
متن کاملPresumptive heterokaryons in Aspergillus fonsecaeus.
Raper and Fennell (1953) studied heterokaryon formation in Aspergillus fonsecaeus Thom and Raper, strain NRRL 67, a carbonaceous black species of the Aspergillus niger group (Thom and Raper, 1945) which produces large multinucleate conidia. Eleven various color, nutritional and morphological mutants (figure. 1) were produced by ultraviolet irradiation of the wild strain. The mutants were paired...
متن کاملThe highly divergent beta-tubulins of Aspergillus nidulans are functionally interchangeable
An internal 1.4-kb Bst EII fragment was used to disrupt the benA gene and establish heterokaryons. The heterokaryons demonstrated that the molecular disruption of benA results in a recessive benA null mutation. Conidia from a heterokaryon swell and germinate but cannot undergo nuclear division and are thus inviable. A chimeric beta-tubulin gene was constructed with the benA promoter driving the...
متن کاملHeterokaryosis between Aspergillus oryzae cyclopiazonic acid-defective strains: method for estimating the risk of inducing toxin production among cyclopiazonic acid-defective industrial strains.
Aspergillus oryzae strains are used extensively in the food industry. Some of these strains excrete alpha-cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a mycotoxin which may provoke toxicoses in rats. Physicochemical methods may reveal the presence of this toxin, but they are inadequate to screen CPA-nonproducing (CPA-) strains. CPA production is revealed by either bacterial growth inhibition or alkalinization of ...
متن کاملHigh Presence of Toxigenic Aspergillus spp. in Commercial Poultry Feeds in Ilaro, Nigeria
Background: Several health problems may be occurred due to consumption of mycotoxin-contaminated foods and feeds. The maize and oilseeds, as the main components of poultry feeds are susceptible to mould contamination and mycotoxin production. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of toxigenic Aspergillus spp. in poultry feeds from Ilaro, Nigeria. Methods: A total of 60 poultry fe...
