A dextran-dextranase system has been used to examine the synergistic effect of exo- and cndo-enzymes acting jointly on polymeric substrates. An endo-dextranase (from Penicillium funiculosum) and an cxo-dextranase (from Streptococcus mitis) produced D-glucose more rapidly from dextrans than the summed effects of the individual enzymes.

With FA necessary for purine synthesis, and riboflavin in turn having a purine precursor, Clapper and Meade (1958) reasoned that folic deficiency should induce riboflavin deficiency. The riboflavin content of a S. faecalis strain (derived from a sulfathiazole-resistant folic-requiring Streptococcus mitis) increased as more PGA was supplied, from a low of 3.0 to 50.6 mj[Pg.26]
