Effect of lucose on the survival of mucor plumbeus bon, and mucor racemosus fresen, under ten atmosphere of pure oxygen
Soaliha ahmed
Abstract
Studies have been made on the effect to the presence of glucose on survival and chances in catalase activity of
mucor plumbeus bon, and M. racemosus fresen , under 10 atmosphere of pure oxygen . the survival of those fungi were greatly reduced on glucose media
under high pressures of oxygen and showed rapid drop in catalase activity. Investigations made to determine the effect of different pH values on the changes in catalase activity under high pressure of oxygen and the effect of pH on the changes in catalase activity and survival time uggested that glucose acts indirectly by decreasing the pH to the media which results in a decrease in catalase activity and consequently an early death of fungi on the substrate under high pessures of oxygen.
