The beta-glucosidase of Mucor racemosus was shown to be synthesized when the organism was grown in the presence of such diverse carbon sources as glycerol, lactate, xylose, ribose, alpha-methylglucoside, alpha-phenylglucoside, maltose, and cellobiose. Enzyme synthesis was strongly repressed in the presence of hexoses. In addition, exogenous cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) resulted in enzyme repression. When cAMP was added exogenously after enzyme activity had accumulated, a reversible enzyme inactivation occurred. Growth on disaccharides (maltose or cellobiose) was severely retarded in the presence of cAMP, whereas that on glucose remained unaffected. The results indicate a probable role for cAMP in control of glucosidase synthesis in Mucor.
当总状毛霉在甘油、乳酸、木糖、核糖、α-甲基葡糖苷、α-苯基葡糖苷、麦芽糖和纤维二糖等多种不同碳源存在的情况下生长时,会合成β-葡萄糖苷酶。在己糖存在时,酶的合成受到强烈抑制。此外,外源性环腺苷酸(cAMP)会导致酶的抑制。当酶活性积累后外源添加cAMP时,会发生可逆的酶失活。在cAMP存在的情况下,在二糖(麦芽糖或纤维二糖)上的生长严重受阻,而在葡萄糖上的生长不受影响。结果表明cAMP在总状毛霉中对葡萄糖苷酶合成的控制中可能发挥作用。
