Glucose oxidase production by clabosporium, alTernaria, and aspergill us from stored grains

Abstract EN

Fifty glucose oxidase producing fungi were isolated from various stored grains: The isolates were 48 Aspergillus niger, one Alternaria species and one Cladosporium species.

Production of glucose oxidase by the latter two species has not been previously reported. Glucose oxidase activity in cell extracts of the organisms ranged from 0.003 to 1.04 units/g mycelia.

There was no detectable extracellular activity of glucose oxidase.
