RESUMO
The effect of phosphate on the production of phosphatases by Aspergillus awamori var. kawachii was studied. In a high phosphate medium, little phosphatase was produced, and the phosphatase activity was predominately for β-glycerophosphate. In a low phosphate medium, the production of phosphatase was increased and activity for glucose-6-phosphate predominated. Medium containing 1 mg of phosphorus per 100 ml was optimal, and the amount of phosphatase produced in this medium was about 200 times that produced in a high phosphate medium. By means of column chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose, the phosphatase produced in the high phosphate medium was found to be eluted mainly at fraction e; the phosphatase of the low phosphate medium was separated into fractions a, b, c, and d. Thus, the phosphatase fractions produced in the low phosphate medium were different from those of the high phosphate medium. Since no specific effect on the production of esterases was observed when various phosphate esters were used as substrates, the enzymes of phosphate metabolism appear to be activated by nonspecific phosphate sources.
