[Development cycle of the yeastlike fungus, Endomycopsis fibuligera, and its accumulation of glucoamylase activity].

The growth cycle and the accumulation of glucoamylase by the yeast-like fungus Endomycopsis fibuligera 20-9 were studied in the conditions of submerged cultivation. The enzyme was accumulated by the end of the logarithmic phase and particularly at the stationary phase of the cultural growth. A correlation has been established between the accumulation of the glucoamylase in the cultural broth and the production of blastospores. Possible systems involved in the control of the enzyme accumulation are discussed.
