Abstract
A microorganism, strain M 102, capable of degrading aspergillic acid (AA), was first isolated from a soil sample in a drainage ditch and was identified as Trichoderma koningii Oudemans. This fungus degraded AA, but not hydroxyaspergillic acid (HAA) or deoxyaspergillic acid (DAA). The AA-degrading ability of M 102 was induced by incubation with AA but not with HAA or DAA. AA-degradation activity was found in a crude enzyme prepared from the mycelia induced by AA; this AA degradation reaction required NAD(P)H and oxygen.
