Abstract
Variability in the degree of inhibition of
pyruvate oxidase system under high pressure of oxygen has been onserved . in aspergillus niger only 6% of the total
carbohydrate used appeared as pyruvate
in the medium . whereas in mucor about 50% of the total carbohydrate used appeared as pyruvate in the medium . studies with radioactive glucose revealed that in mucor sp. The inhibition of pyruvate oxidase system is virtually complete , whereas in A. niger there is only partial inhibition of pyruvate oxidation allowing some pyruvate to either the TCA Cycle.
