title: The elastinolytic proteinase of Aspergillus flavus is not glycosylated.
abstract: Aspergillus flavus produces an elastinolytic metalloproteinase in culture fluid which does not appear to be a glycoprotein. The elastase did not stain with periodic acid Schiff reagent, its migration rate was not changed by digestion with glycosidases or chemical agents, and its release into culture medium was not inhibited by tunicamycin.
