Rhizopus oryzae produces lactic acid from glucose but not efficiently from sucrose, while Amylomyces rouxii, a species closely related to R. oryzae, ferments these sugars equally. The properties of two sucrose-hydrolyzing enzymes purified from culture filtrates of R. oryzae NBRC 4785 and A. rouxii CBS 438.76 were compared to assess lactic acid fermentation by the two fungi. The substrate specificity of the enzymes showed that the enzymes from strains NBRC 4785 and CBS 438.76 are to be classified as glucoamylase and invertase respectively. The entity of the enzyme from strain NBRC 4785 might be a glucoamylase, because eight residues of the N-terminal amino acid sequence coincided with those of the deduced protein from the amyB gene of R. oryzae. The enzyme from NBRC 4785 was more unstable than that from strain CBS 438.76 under conditions of lower pH and higher temperature. These observations mean that the culture conditions of R. oryzae for lactic acid production from sucrose should be strictly controlled to prevent inactivation of the glucoamylase hydrolyzing sucrose.
