چکیده

Copper accumulation and phosphatase activities of three Aspergillus species resistant to copper were compared to three copper-sensitive Rhizopus species. High level of acid phosphatases and decreased Cu2+-uptake were found with resistant in contrast to sensitive strains. The presence of copper(II) ions in the medium increased the production of acid phosphatases in the resistant A. niger and decreased their activity in the sensitive R. delemar. Copper ions inhibited the activity of A. niger cellular acid phosphatase with a Ki of 8.9x10(-4) M and slightly activated the R. delemar enzyme.

Ferric reductase, superoxide dismutase and alkaline phosphatase activities in siderophore producing fungi.

Enzymes associated with release of iron from internalized ferrated siderophore (ferrisiderophore reductase), with damage to the cell at high iron concentration (superoxide dismutase) and siderophore synthesis (alkaline phosphatase), were examined in 3 test fungi viz., Aspergillus sp. ABp4, Aureobasidium pullulans and Rhizopus sp. Extracellular ferrisiderophore reductase activity was present in ...

Zinc Tolerance and Accumulation in Aspergillus oryzae Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus stolonifer isolated from Saudi Arabian Soil

Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus stolonifer isolated from Taif soil, Saudi Arabia could survive in a liquid medium containing up to 500 !lglml Zn. Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium citrinum were more tolerant to zinc toxicity than Rhizopus stolonifer. The resistance and accumulation of zinc in the tested fungi were discussed according to tolerance index and zinc uptake in ...

Antifungal Activities of Biorelevant Complexes of Copper(II) with Biosensitive Macrocyclic Ligands

Four copper(II) complexes have been prepared using macrocyclic ligands. The macrocyclic ligands have been synthesized by the condensation reaction of diethyl phthalate with Schiff bases derived from o-phenylene diamine and Knoevenagel condensed β-ketoanilides (obtained by the condensation of acetoacetanilide and substituted benzaldehydes). The ligands and copper complexes have been characterize...

Copper (II) accumulation and superoxide dismutase activity during growth of Aspergillus niger B-77.

The influence of copper (II) ions on the growth, accumulation properties and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of a growing culture of Aspergillus niger B-77 were studied. Microbial growth, the level of copper (II) accumulation and SOD activity depended on the initial copper (II) concentration. Aspergillus niger is able to accumulate large amounts of copper (II) from the nutrient medium with ...
