Two main acid phosphatases were purified from each extract of phosphate-supplied (la, Ila) or phosphate-starved (Ib, Ilb) cultures of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius (Berjaud and d Auzac, 1986). These soluble phosphatases could not he distinguished either hy their pH optimum (pH 5.0—5.5) or hy their optimal temperature (60°C). In contrast, the activation energy was lower in the case of the two phosphatases from starved mycelium (50.2—58.2 kj/mol) than those from phosphate-supplied mycelium (70.5-112.5 kJ/mol). Thus, their reaction rate was higher.
