Which is the inducer of enzyme invertase?(a) Starch(b) Sucrose(c) Galactosidases(d) Fatty acidsThis question was posed to me in quiz.My query is from Large in chapter An Overview of Biological Basics & Enzymes of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) SUCROSE

To explain: INVERTASE is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of sucrose. The resulting mixture of fructose and glucose is called inverted sugar SYRUP. For industrial use, invertase is usually derived from yeast. The inducer compounds are expensive and their handling (sterilization, addition at specific TIME) ALSO is quite difficult.
