Decryptification of acid phosphatase in arthrospores of Geotrichum species treated with dimethyl sulfoxide and acetone.
Decryptification of acid phosphatase in Geotrichum sp. arthrospores was accomplished using acetone or dimethyl sulfoxide treatment. Both dimethyl sulfoxide and acetone irreversibly destroyed the integrity of the spore membranes without solubilizing acid phosphatase.
