Effect of Allylisothiocyanate on the Enzyme Activities During the Culture of Aspergillus parasiticus R-716
Effect of allylisothiocyanate on the enzyme activities including malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, NADPH and acetyl CoA which were related to atlatoxin production of Aspergillus parasricus R-716 were invetigated. The activities of malate dehydrogenase (EC.1.1.1.37), isocitrate dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.1.42) and NADPH oxidase (E.C.1.6.99.1) indicated relatively high in the 50 ppm allylisothiocyanate-added-culture. In contrast, the activity of acetyl CoA in the 50 ppm allylisothiocyanate-added-culture showed rather lower level through the cultivation.
