On Amino Acid Metabolism in the Griseofulvin Producer 'Pen. nigricans Thom',
Abstract
A total of 18 amino acids were detected in the mycelium of P. nigricans. Predominant among these were glutamic acid (38.9 mg per gram of dry mycelium), proline (30.15 mg), and histidine (28.42 mg). In addition a high content of the amino sugar glucosamine was detected. A reduction in the content of individual amino acids in the mycelium was noted on the 9th day of growth; this was more strongly expressed in 12-day mycelium. The content of amino acids in the liquid culture medium was simultaneously increased, which indicated the onset of autolysis.
