Isolation and screening of glucose oxidase producing microorganisms from natural sources.
Among 1486 mould strains isolated from natural sources (screened for extracellular glucose oxidase) only 119 (Aspergillus and Penicillium) showed this enzyme activity. As the best glucose oxidase producer, A. niger 0-1 was isolated from decaying tree. The dynamics of glucose oxidase synthesis in A. niger 0-1 during its culture by submerged method show that the intracellular activity of this enzyme is 10-times higher than its extracellular level. Some properties of the crude glucose oxidase preparation, isolated from the postculture liquids by lyophilization, were examined.
