Abstract

 Sulphite at a concentration of 1 mM did not strongly affect the growth of mycelium. Higher concentrations of 5–20 mM almost completely inhibited the growth of mycelium and superoxide dismutase (SOD) [EC.1.15.1.1.] activity. The activity of this enzyme was not detectable on polyacrylamide gels. The lack of induction of SOD and the resulting oxidative stress may in part be responsible for the growth inhibition caused by high concentrations of sulphite.
