Induction of aryl-β-glucosidase in Fomes annosus by cellobiose

Archiv für Mikrobiologie Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Fomes annosus grown on cellobiose as the carbon source grows better and produces more aryl-β-glucosidase compared to cultures grown on glucose. Aryl-β-glucosidase is specifically induced after the transfer of cultures grown on glucose to cellobiose-containing media, this induction is sensitive to inhibitors of transcription and translation. Density labelling experiments revealed that the increase in activity due to the transfer to cellobiose-media is the result of a true increased enzyme synthesis. Of the four different bands of aryl-β-glucosidase activity obtained by isoelectric focusing, only one increases in its relative activity after the transfer from glucose-media to cellobiose-media.
