Mucor rouxianus produced two forms (isoenzymes) of glucoamylase which could be separated from each other by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or by chromatography on SP-Sephadex C-50, and they were designated glucoamylase I and glucoamylase II. Glucoamylases I and II were isolated in crystalline form, and were homogeneous in poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis and in ultracentrifugation, respectively. The sedimentation coefficient (S20, w) and molecular weight of glucoamylase I were 4.39 S and 59,000, and those of glucoamylase II were 4.29 S and 49,000, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
