[Phospholipase C of fungi and staphylococci].

The activity of phospholipase was studied in the cultural broth and cell extract of 112 strains of fungi and yeasts. The endoenzyme was detected in 19 strains of mycelial fungi, the exoenzyme was found in Mucor hiemalis 50 and Aspergillus niger 117. Phospholipase C of M. hiemalis was purified and compared to phospholipase of staphylococci. The values of Km are 8.9 and 1.07 mM, respectively, for the fungal and staphylococcal enzymes.
