[Catalytic properties of induced L-lysine-alpha-oxidase]

Regulation of biosynthesis of L-lysine-alpha-oxidase from Trichoderma sp using biostimulators was studied. Specific activity of L-lysine-alpha-oxidase was increased 2.7-fold in presence of biostimulators; this occurred due to induction of the enzyme, properties of which were described previously. Catalytic and physico-chemical properties of the enzyme studied were not altered after addition of stimulators into the cultivation medium of the producing strain. Small amounts of L-lysine-alpha-oxidase isozyme were detected in the medium during cultivation; the isozyme was less active and had lower molecular mass as compared with the enzyme studied.
