Secreted phospholipases of the dimorphic fungus, Candida albicans; separation of three enzymes and some biological properties
Abstract
Several phospholipases are secreted into the culture medium by growing yeast cells of Candida albicans 3125. DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography of concentrated culture filtrate revealed three separable fractions with phospholipase activities. Analysis of products of hydrolysis showed that the enzyme activities were lysophospholipase, lysophospholipase-transacylase and a phospholipase B.
