title: The influence of detergent, the active component of detergent and sodiumtripolyphosphate on the biochemical process of some fungi.
abstract: Detergent "Merix" (Merima-Krusevac) and its components, sodiumtripolyphosphate and ethoxyled oleyl-cetyl alcohol in defined concentrations have influence on the enzymatic activity, bioproduction of amino acids and proteins and total biomass of species Aspergillus niger (A. niger) and Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum). Detergent in concentration of 1% vol., in some cases, significantly stimulated production of the majority of amino acids. Detergent and its components (ethoxyled oleyl-cetyl alcohol and sodiumtripolyphosphate) in concentration of 1% vol. showed different influences on the production of proteins by the species of fungi A. niger and F. oxysporum. The enzymatic activity of fungi A. niger and F. oxysporum changed from total inhibition up to partial or total stimulation under influence of investigated pollutants. Detergent, sodiumtripolyphosphate and ethoxyled oleyl-cetyl alcohol, all in concentration of 1% vol. have reduced the production of the biomass of fungi A. niger and F. oxysporum. Investigated fungi have shown different response to the used pollutants.
