Culture conditions for the production of a-galactosidase by Aspergillus parasiticus MTCC-2796: a novel source

Abstract

-1 ) was obtained when the basic medium is supplemented with galactose (0.5% w/v) and raffinose (0.5% w/v) as carbon source and yeast extract as nitrogen source. Enzyme production was also enhanced considerably in the presence of wheat bran (1.0% w/v). Enzyme secretion was strongly inhibited by the presence of Hg 2+
