Abstract

BasidiomycetesPhellinus chrysoloma, Kuehneromyces mutabilis andGanoderma applanatum produce extracellular milk-clotting enzymes. The enzymes are acid proteinases stable at 40°C and within pH 3–5.5. Only the enzyme preparation fromP. chrysoloma exhibits properties comparable with animal chymosin.
