This strain was identified to be Rhodotorula bacarum by BIOLOG analysis. This is the first report that pullulan was produced by Rhodotorula bacarum. The optimal medium (g L -1) for pullulan production by this strain was 80 glucose, 20 soybean cake hydrolysate, 5 K 2HPO 4, 1 NaCl, 0.2 MgSO 4·7H 2O, 0.6 (NH 4) 2SO 4, pH 7.0. Under this condition, 54 g L -1 pullulan was produced within 60 h at 30 ℃. Pullulan is a better starting material for producing marine prodrugs.展开更多

It is capable of enhancing degradation of cellulose. Its action mechanism was investigated and it was found that Gt factor could reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy revealed in the presence of O2, Gt factor could drive the formation of H2O2 via a superoxide anion O2.- intermediate and mediate the generation of hydroxyl radical HO˙ in a Fenton-type reaction. All these provided evidence for the formation of HO˙ in some wood-degrading fungi.展开更多
