Production of endodextranase by aspergillus wenth

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF OBTAINING A FILTRATE CONTAINING ENDODEXTRANASE HAVING THE CAPACITY TO ATTACK GLUCOSIDIC LINKAGES OF LARGE DEXTRAN MOLECULES TO THEREBY SPLIT THE LARGE MOLECULES INTO RELATIVELY LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT SEGMENTS, WHICH COMPRISES INOCULATING ASPERGILLUS WENTU INTO A NUTRIENT MEDIUM COMPRISING AN AQUEOUS COMPOSITION CONTAINING DISSOLVED METALLIC SALTS AND, PER LITER OF WATER, FROM ABOUT 2.0 GMS. TO ABOUT 6.0 GMS. OF A SUBSTANCE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AMINO ACIDS AND PROTEIN SOURCES OF AMINO ACIDS, AND FROM ABOUT 5.0 GMS. TO ABOUT 50.0 GMS. OF, AS SOLE CARBOHYDRATE, A SUBSTANCE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF STARCH AND GLYCOGEN, INCUBATING THE CULTURE UNTIL THE ENDO-DEXTRANASE IS ELABORATED THEREIN, AND FILTERING THE CULTURE TO REMOVE THE MOLD MAT AND LEAVE A FILTRATE CONTAINING THE ENDO-DEXTRAANATE.
