Study of bound phospholipase activities of fungal mycelia using an organic solvent system

J A Blain et al. Lipids. 1976 Jul.

Abstract

It has been possible to demonstrate and characterize high phospholipase activities in mycelia of Rhizopus arrhizus and Mucor javanicus by use of a system in which substrates were dissolved in diisopropyl ether. Such activities were associated with bound enzymes and would have been difficult to detect using aqueous assay systems. In both cases, phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis was by phospholipase A1 (EC 3.1.1.32) activity followed by the action of lysophospholipase (EC 3.1.1.5). Phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.4) activity was also detected. The methods used appear to be of general applicability for the detection and study of insoluble phospholipases.
