Neurospora crassa enzyme metabolism

Mycelia and ungerminated conidia of Neurospora crassa have been shown to secrete an entfo-cellulase. A simple induction system of phosphate buffer plus inducer relied on the internal metabolic reserves of conidia or mycelia to provide energy and substrates for protein synthesis. Cellobiose was the best inducer. In deionized water, the cellulase remained mostly associated with the cell, but a variety of salts stimulated the release of the enzyme into the medium.
