Abstract
Washed mycelial suspensions of A. gossypii oxidize glucose, sucrose and maltose, but not lactose. Pyruvic, acetic and succinic acids and ethanol are all oxidized. Glucose is oxidized more or less completely to CO2 and H2O, but in the early stages of the fermentation considerable ethyl alcohol and traces of acetic acid are formed. Cyanide, iodo-acetate and fluoride all inhibit the aerobic metabolism of glucose. Glucose is attacked anaerobically by mycelial suspensions, yielding 2 moles of CO2 per mole of sugar consumed.Keywords
