Abstract:
Upon secretion, the major form of glucoamylase from Asp. awamori adsorbs on fungal cell walls. Its substrate binding site showing affinity for alpha-1-4 and alpha-1-6 wall glucans is responsible for adsorption. The minor form in which this site is absent has no sorption ability for cell walls.
