Abstract

Two intracellular β-glucosidases, designated P-I and P-II, were found in Aspergillus nidulans. While both enzymes were subject to carbon catabolite repression, they exhibited different degrees of repression. P-I biosynthesis was repressed only by a strongly repressing carbon source such as glucose. By contrast, P-II biosynthesis was repressed by even weakly repressing carbon sources such as acetate or lactose. Repression of both was relieved in the creAd mutant strain, except for the strong repression of P-II biosynthesis which was still repressed by glucose. Thus P-II biosynthesis seems to be more sensitive to carbon catabolite repression than P-I.
