title: [Factors influencing the biosynthesis of beta-galactosidase in Alternaria tenuis].
abstract: The effect of pH, carbon sources, and some organic substances on the biosynthesis of beta-galactosidase was studied in Alternaria tenuis on a defined medium that had been optimized by the method of mathematical planning of experiments. Optimal conditions for the production of the enzyme and its liberation into the cultural broth were maintained by adding 2 per cent soya flour to the medium and 0.1 M phosphate-citrate buffer pH 3.0. The production of the enzyme was increased by 3 to 4 times. The biosynthesis of beta-galactosidase by Alternaria tenuis is of an induced nature.
