Microbial production of Glukose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase.Peer-reviewed article

B. KRÁLOVÁ, P. BASAŘ, K. DEMNEROVÁ

The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) was determined in various industrial strains of yeasts. From microorganisms tested the best resource of this enzyme was brewing yeast. However, the activity of G-6-PDH varied in yeasts from different breweries. The enzyme activity was dependent on the technology used, on the wort composition and the production strain.The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) was determined in various industrial strains of yeasts.
