Various properties of exogenous phospholipase A2 produced by mycelium of Paecilomyces viridis fungus

: The lipolytic activity of extract of mycelium and cultural fluid of fungus Paecilomyces viridis and their protein fraction was investigated. The micelium of fungus Paecilomyces viridis is a weak producent of exogenic phospholipase A2, possessing the hemolytic activity. The optimum of zungal phospholipase A2 activity was within a range of pH 8.5-9.0 which coincides with the optimum of activity of phospholipase A2 from venoms of snakes and insects.
