Production of biotechnological useful metabolites by Mucor racemosus in Czapek-Dox liquid media supplemented with synthetic detergent

Abstract

PRODUCTION OF BIOTECHNOLOGICAL USEFUL METABOLITES BY Mucor racemosus IN CZAPEK-DOX LIQUID MEDIA SUPPLEMENTED WITH SYNTHETIC DETERGENT Article Highlights • M. racemosus was tested for production of biotechnologically useful metabolites • Fungus was grown in liquid medium with addition of detergent at concentrations of 0.3 and 0.5% • The detergent at 0.3% enhanced α-amylase activity (49.59%) and quantity of arginine (40.38%) • Amount of arginine (119.09%) and alanine (192.79%) was notably enhanced by 0.5% of detergent • α-Amylase activity retained full activity in the medium with 0.
