The fungus Fusarium proliferatum was grown in a soya oil- and glucose-supplemented medium. Induction of lipoxygenase activity (13-fold) in an extract of Fusarium biomass has been observed at day four on soya oil culture medium. A band at 232 kDa was detected using a specific lipoxygenase stain combined with native PAGE. The method of fungal homogenate obtained has been checked via subcellular marker enzymes activities: succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) for mitochondrial fraction and NADH-cytochrome C reductase (NADH-cyt. C) for the microsomal fraction. Protoplasts production and disintegration followed by subcellular fractionation using differential centrifugation was the best method to recover pure fractions. The results of subcellular fractionation showed that lipoxygenase is mainly distributed among microsomal and mitochondrial fractions with a high enrichment of specific activity in the microsomal fraction.
