Mortierella vinacea

Carbohydrase (Mortierella vinaceae var. raffinoseuti-lizer) Produced as an off white to tan powder or as pellets by controlled fermentation using Mortierella vinaceae var. raffinoseutilizer. Soluble in water (pellets may be insoluble in water), but practically insoluble in alcohol, in chloroform, and in ether. Major active principle a-galactosidase. Typical application used in the production of sugar from sugar beets.

Phillips (1966) measured oxygen diffusion in pellets of PeniciIlium chrysogenum by first assuming that diffusion is the mechanism that supplies oxygen to the interior of the microbial pellet and that the mass transfer resistance outside the pellet is comparatively small. Yano et. al. (1961) and Koyayashi et al. (1973 b) did the same with Aspergillus nicer pellets. By taking into account the effect of intraparticle diffusion. Kobayashi and Suzuki (1976) were able to characterize the kinetic behavior of the enzyme galactosidase within mold pellets of Mortierella vinacea. 

Transgalactosylated derivatives of CyDs and glucosyl and maltosyl CyDs were synthesized using a-galactosidases from coffee beans and Mortierella vinacea. Coffee-bean a-galactosidase transferred a galactosyl residue not only to side chains...

The maximum specific activity of the chitin synthase in Mortierella vinacea is associated with cessation of exponential growth. Mg + ions stimulated the enzymic activity, whereas soluble chitodextrins are inhibitors, in contrast to their effect on the corresponding enzyme from A. flavus. Chitin synthase has been detected in yeast forms of preparations of Mucor rouxii, chiefly in a latent state that is activated by proteases. It is initially present as an active form in mycelial preparations, but is rapidly degraded by endogenous proteases. The different behaviours of chitin synthase in crude extracts of mycelium and yeast cells is consistent with, and perhaps responsible for, differences in the structures of the cell walls. The activating factor for the chitin synthase of S. cerevisiae has been purified and shown to be identical with an enzyme previously designated as protease B (E.C. 3.4.22.9). ...
