Abstract
Carbon catabolite repression is generally considered as a regulatory mechanism to ensure
sequential synthesis of secondary metabolites. In this study we made an attempt to understand
the influence of amylase activity on pigment synthesis in Penicillium sp NIOM-02. The amylase
activity is inversely proportional to pigment production. The high performance liquid
chromatography analysis of amylase reaction revealed glucose as the major product of starch
hydrolysis. The fungus grown in acarbose (inhibitor of amylase) incorporated media produced
higher quantities of pigments. Apparently, glucose released due to amylase activity influenced
the pigment synthesis by cAMP signaling pathway.
