RESUMO

Production of carbohydrases by Alternaria solani is inhibited by glucose under low growth conditions. In an enriched medium, glucose has little effect on the production of polygalacturonase and cellulase while it still suppresses production of β-glucosidase. Low levels of all three enzymes were produced in the absence of their respective substrates. Such regulation has been found with many organisms. However, far greater production of these carbohydrases occurred with additions of adenosine phosphates to the growth media. Highest stimulation of enzyme production was by adenosine 5′-phosphate. Adenosine 5′-triphosphate and cyclic 3′, 5′-adenosine monophosphate gave lesser amounts. Starvation appears to induce production of extracellular carbohydrases and adenosine 5′-phosphate may have a role in the starvation process.
