Notes:
Summary Conditions for the production of microbial uricase byCandida utilis were studied. For the selected strain, hypoxanthine proved to be the most effective inducer of uricase formation. The highest values of biomass as well as uricase activity in the mechanically agitated fermentor were obtained under the following conditions: 50 h, rotation impeller speed 7 s−1, air flow rate 1.25×10−5 m3s−1, concentration of inducer 0.1%.
