Evaluation of organic waste application efficiency for synthesis of cholesterol oxidases

Abstract

Aim of the study was to estimate efficiency of organic waste (glycerol and molasses) application on growth of mycelial fungi and synthesis of cholesterol oxidases (ChO). Thus, it was established that in some strains of mycelial fungi producing ChO it is possible to substitute glycerol and molasses as carbon sources in the nutrient media achieving the same level of enzyme biosynthesis (A. niger, P. kapuscinskii, P. chrysogenum) or even increasing it 1,8 times (A. aliaceus F, A. aliaceus).
