Lactobacillus acidophilus IFO 3532 was found to produce only intracellular alpha-glucosidase (alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.20). Maximum enzyme production obtained in a medium containing 2% maltose as inducer at 37 degrees C and an initial pH of 6.5. The formed the cytoplasm accumulated large pool during logarithmic growth phase. Enzyme strongly inhibited by 4 microM CuSO4, 40 CoCl2, beef extract; MnSO4 presence proteose peptone yeast extract greatly enhanced production. A...
