Popis: The production and excretion of benzyl alcohol oxidase (BAO) by Botrytis cinerea was increased by shaking and by increasing the temperature to 28°. Various grape components, used as a carbon supply, inhibited (glucose, pectin, tartaric and malic acids) or promoted (galactose) extracellular and mycelial BAO formation. Compounds added to the medium, with galactose as a carbon supply, inhibited (caffeic and gallic acids) or promoted (arginine, nicotinic acid) synthesis of this enzyme. Molarity and pH played a role in release of the mycelial BAO which seemed to be a cell-wall enzyme. These results suggest a possible role of this enzyme in the host-parasite relationship.
