Table 4. Effect of nitrogen sources on production of FPase, cell mass and extracellular protein production relative to control which contained a-cellulose -Dubos salts +0.2% yeast extract +0.1% sodium nitrate. Control was composed of Dubos salts medium +0.2% yeast extract and supported 35.2 IU/ I/h, 21.02 mg/I/h and 0.255 g cells/I/h extracellular FPase, extracellular protein and cell mass productivity respectively. Standard deviation among 3 replicates was 2.0-3.5% of given values and have not been presented.
