Eighty-four fungi from twenty five species have been examined for the production of extracellular

enzymes capable of hydrolysing phytate 3-phytase, myo-inositol hexakisphosphate 3-phospho-

hydrolase, EC 3.1.3.8, and 6-phytase, myo-inositol hexakisphosphate 6-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.26)

when grown in: 1) rapeseed meal RSM); 2) a semisynthet ie medium containing phytate as the sole

phosphorus source PSM); 3) potato dextrose broth PDB). Although 58 active strains showed sub-

stantial activity, results in either of the media were of no value in indicating activ ity in RSM. There

was no relationship between the ability o f a fungus to hydrolyse phyt ate and its taxonomic position.

Asper g i l lus f i cuum NRRL 3135 had the greatest activity in the synthetic medium, and was relatively

active in RSM. The extracellular enz yme had max imum activity aft er 10 days growth in PSM and had

a temperature opt imum of 55°C. Two pH optima were noted at pH 2.0 and 5.5. Inorganic phosphate

inhibited enzyme production; ammonia ions were a better nitrogen source than nitrate or urea.

Keywords: Rapeseed meal; phytate; p hytate hydrolysing enzyme;Aspergillus ficuum

enzymes as they exhibited markedly different heat stability

propert ies. In con tras t, Irving and Cosgrove 19 fou nd it

impossible to discern whether the two peaks represented

one or two enzymes as they failed to separate the two

active centres either b y gel electrophoresis or the

visualization method .

Shieh e t a l . 38 showed that increased levels of inorganic

phosphorus in the growth medium suppressed synthesis of

both enzy mes although the ratio of the pH 2.0 to the

pH 5.0 peaks was reversed, and the phytase enzymebecame the most active enzy me produced. This was con-

firmed by our experime nts in which differe nt levels of

inorganic phospho rus were added to PSM brot h, which

contains negligible inorganic phosphorus. Inhi biti on of

enzyme pr oduc tion occurre d above 0.2 mg m1-1 of inorganic

phosphorus , as can be seen from the results in T a b l e 4 .

Phytate production is also influenced by nitrogen

source, with ammonium ions being markedly superior to

nitrate and urea ( T a b l e 5 ) . We found that urea supported

little growth. Ammo niu m salts were also foun d to be the

best nitrogen source in the medium for subsequent phytase

production by A . t e r r e u s cultures.34

It was of interest to compare the activity towardsphytate in RSM of phytate degrading enzymes from

A . f i c u u m and from wheat which is commercially available.

Both enzymes decreased the phytic acid content to a sub-

stantial degree, with the p reparat ion from wheat being

somewhat more active.Residual phytate was present in

RSM even after prolonged in cubat ion. This result does not

reflect loss of activity by the en zyme for the additio n to

the i ncubation mixture containing enzyme from either

source of more RSM led to fu rther removal of phytate

( T a b l e 6 ) . It may be that some proportion of the phytate

in RSM is inaccessible to the enzy me, perhaps by its

occlusion within cells or by cellular const ituent s. The

addition of further enzyme to meal in which phytate had

already been substa ntially degraded by earlier enzyme

addition did not result in complete breakdown of phytate

(data not shown).
